Sandro Salvadore (29 November 1939 – 4 January 2007) was an Italian footballer who played as a defender. He played for Italian clubs A.C. Milan and Juventus throughout his career, winning titles at both clubs. He also represented the Italy national football team, participating in the 1960 Summer Olympics, and two FIFA World Cups, and was also a member of the team that won the 1968 UEFA European Football Championship.
Born Milan, Lombardy, Sandro Salvadore was picked up by A.C. Milan’s scouts when he was 15, and played in their junior team until he made his debut in Serie A in the 1958–59 season aged 20. While wearing A.C. Milan’s number 6 shirt he won 2 League titles (1958–59 and 1961–62). He left Milan after 72 league matches.
In 1962 Salvadore was purchased by Juventus and became soon a pillar of their defence. After only a few games he fully established himself as a first choice Libero (sweeper), winning three more League titles (1966–67, 1971–72 and 1972–73) and one Coppa Italia title (1964–65). Salvadore was also the captain of Juventus when they finished as runners-up in the 1972–73 European Cup final and the 1973 Intercontinental Cup final.
