Salvatore "Sasà" Sullo (born on 23 October 1971 in Naples) is a retired Italian footballer.

He was mainly known for having been the captain of Messina from 2001 to 2007 as part of the squad that gained two promotions, which led the team from Serie C1 to Serie A.

Career

In 2005, Sullo was forced to temporarily quit football because of a B-cell lymphoma, but fully recovered and returned playing within eight months' time.[1]

Sullo left Messina in January 2007 to join Avellino of Serie C1, with his number 41 shirt being retired in commemoration of his services for the club. He was also awarded an honorary Messina citizenship by the local government.[1] After having won promotion playoffs with Avellino in 2007, he joined Martina, another Serie C1 team, during the summer market.[2]
