Luigi Sartor (born 30 January 1975 in Treviso) is a retired Italian footballer. Usually a fullback on either flank, he can also appear as a central defender.

During a 17-year professional career, Sartor represented ten clubs in his country, also having a brief spell in Hungary.

Club career

Early years

Sartor's Serie A career got off to an inauspicious start, as he scored an own goal past goalkeeper Angelo Peruzzi on his debut (and only game) for Juventus FC, in a 0–2 defeat at ACF Fiorentina, on 6 December 1992.

After appearing regularly at Vicenza Calcio (where he played mainly as a central defender, playing alongside Swede Joachim Björklund). Whilst at Vicenza he won the 1996–97 Coppa Italia.[1] A runner-up place in the league followed in 1997–98 at F.C. Internazionale Milano, with whom he signed a four-year contract,[2] also winning the UEFA Cup. Previously, in April 1997, he had agreed to sign for Parma AC,[3] but eventually joined that team in the 1998 summer, repeating the UEFA Cup feat in his first season.

Roma

Sartor joined A.S. Roma in 2002, in a four year-contract, with Sebastiano Siviglia going in the opposite direction. The deal was almost a pure player exchange, with both players being tagged at about €9 million.[4][5][6] but failed to become a team regular, with just 12 appearances in 2002–03, being behind in pecking order to Aldair, Walter Samuel, Cafú, Christian Panucci, Vincent Candela and Jonathan Zebina, and starting four matches in the place of Cafú, or accompanying the Brazilian as he moved up front to the midfielder position. Sartor was also consecutively during his contract, to A.C. Ancona in the second half of the following season, and Genoa C.F.C. in 2004–05, after only seven appearances for the country capital team.

Roma false accounting scandal

As both Sartor and Siviglia failed to impress at their new clubs, and their nominal transfer was far from they had cost, Italian press reported they might have been victims of administrative doping, which meant a club allegedly inflated the price of a player in order to increase profit. Roma had already been fined for engaging in these tactics in 2007, with youth players.[7][8][9][10] Sartor's contract value was also write-down to €1.634 million in 2002–03 financial year. The residual €7.866 million was planned to amortize in 10-year period.[11] But the whole special amortization fund which "worth" €80 million on 30 June 2006 was removed in 2006–07 financial year, as the club adopted IFRS as new accounting standard, thus the special amortization fund was not longer an "asset" of the club, and the net equity of the club was re-calculated.

Late career

In the 2005–06 season, after cancelling his Roma contract in November[12] and six months of inactivity in football, Sartor moved to Hungary's MFC Sopron, joining Giuseppe Signori and manager Dario Bonetti.

In December 2006, he was found guilty by a court of aggravated assault on two police officers, in an away match against Piacenza Calcio as he played with Genoa, on 9 January 2005.[13]

After a quick passage at Hellas Verona, in the second division,[14] Sartor joined Serie C1's Ternana Calcio, in January 2008,[15] playing in the team until June of the following year.

International career

Internationally, Sartor appeared for Italy at the 1996 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship, as the nation emerged victorious, also competing the same year at the Atlanta Olympic Games. He played only once in both tournaments: in the former, he replaced Nicola Amoruso in the 68th minute of the semi-final match against France;[16] in the latter he appeared against Ghana as a starter, being replaced by Alessandro Pistone.[17]

An unused member for the U-23's at the 1997 Mediterranean Games, Sartor made his debut with the main squad in April 1998, in a friendly match against Paraguay, adding another four years later, with the United States.

After retirement

Sartor was arrested on 19 December 2011 for his involvement in the 2011 Italian football scandal. On 18 June 2012 he was banned 5 years.[18]
