Contents
Club career
He made his debut for Monza, later moving to Napoli, Torino and Genoa. In total he played 323 matches and scored 27 goals in the Serie A. With Torino, he won the 1975-76 Serie A, and the 1970-71 Coppa Italia.[1]
International career
He also earned 18 caps for the Italy national football team, including playing in the 1978 FIFA World Cup, where Italy finished in fourth place after reaching the semi-final.[2]
Style of play
Sala was usually deployed as a winger, but could also play as an attacking midfielder, or even as a striker on occasion. Regarded as one of Italy's greatest wingers, he was a quick and highly creative player, and an excellent assist provider, who was gifted with good technical ability, as well as accurate passing and crossing ability, which allowed him to be an effective playmaker; a two-footed player, he was capable of attacking on either wing.[1]
