Club career
Briaschi made his professional debut with Vicenza during the 1975–76 season, making 4 appearances in 2 seasons with the club. He was a part of the so-called "Real Vicenza" side, which won the Serie B title during the 1976–77 season, and subsequently finished second in Serie A during the 1977–78 season, playing alongside Paolo Rossi. The following season he found more space and made his UEFA Cup debut. After an unproductive season on loan at Cagliari during the 1979–80 season, he returned to Vicenza for a season, scoring 11 goals in Serie B, which were however unable to help the club avoid relegation. In 1981, he subsequently moved to Serie A side Genoa for three seasons, scoring 29 goals, including 8 during his first season, and 12 during the 1983–84 Serie A season.[4][5]
Briaschi moved to Juventus during the 1984–85 season, joining his former Vicenza team-mate Rossi, where they attacking duo were supported by Michel Platini in the playmaking role. Briashi scored 12 goals during his first season with the club, and won the UEFA Super Cup in 1984, and was part of Juventus' European Cup victory in 1985, scoring goals against Grasshopper, Sparta Prague, and Bordeaux, in the semi-final, where he also sustained an injury.[6] The following season, he found less space, although he was able to win the 1985–86 Serie A title with the club, also winning the 1985 Intercontinental Cup. His chances were even more limited during his third season in Turin, and he eventually returned to Genoa in 1987.[4][5]
After two seasons in Serie B, in December 1989 he moved to Serie C1 side Prato, ending his Italian career in 1990.[4][5] He spent the 1990 season with North York Rockets in the Canadian Soccer League.
International career
Although he was never capped for Italy at senior level, Briaschi represented the Italy national under-21 football team on 4 occasions between 1978 and 1979. He also took part with Italy at the 1984 Summer Olympics, where the team finished in fourth place after reaching the semi-finals.[7]
