Davids spent a season and half at AC Milan (1996-1997), followed by more than six seasons at Juventus (1997-2003), one at FC Barcelona (2003-2004), one at Internazionale (2004-2005) and one and a half at Tottenham Hotspur (2005-2007).

The biggest crisis in Davids' career, however, was not his conflict with Guus Hiddink, but the ban handed to him by the FIFA in 2001, when he tested positive for nandrolone, a banned anabolic steroid.
