Raffaele Sansone (Italian pronunciation: [raffaˈɛːle sanˈsoːne]; 20 September 1910 – 11 September 1994) was an Italo-Uruguayan football player and coach from Montevideo, Uruguay, who played as a midfielder.
Club career
[edit]After beginning his career in Uruguay with Peñarol, Sansone spent over a decade playing club football for Italian club Bologna, winning the Serie A title four times, and the Mitropa Cup twice. After that he moved to Napoli where he played one game before retiring; he then became a manager.[1]
International career
[edit]Sansone was also called up by the Italy national football team as an oriundo; he was allowed to play for Italy due to his parents being from Salerno.[2] He turned out for the azzurri a total of three times, two of these times as starter in the silver medal 1931–32 Central European International Cup campaign.
