Club career

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

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 winning 1931-32 Central European International Cup campaign.
