Biography

[edit]

Reggina

[edit]

Born in Reggio Calabria, Calabria, Saviano played 2 seasons in Serie D (top of non-professional leagues) before joining Napoli Soccer in mid-2004, a newly formed phoenix club of S.S.C. Napoli.

On 1 July 2005 he returned to his parent club Reggina and made his Serie A debut on March 5, 2006. That match Ivan Pelizzoli was not played and Nicola Pavarini was injured in the first half. That match Reggina won Treviso 1–0.

On 7 May 2006 (round 37), Saviano played his second (and the last) Serie A match, replacing Pelizzoli in the 55th minute. He concerned 2 more goals, made the club once losing 0–5. Eventually Nicola Amoruso scored to goal for Reggina, made the final scored fixed at losing to Fiorentina 2–5.

Chievo

[edit]

On 1 July 2006 he was signed by fellow Serie A club Chievo on a free transfer.[1] However, he was farmed to Serie C2 club Cassino, on a co-ownership deal.

In mid-2007, he was farmed to Sansovino from Chievo, along with defenders Marcus N'Ze, Leonardo Moracci, midfielders Maycol Andriani, Luca Spinetti and forward Xhulian Rrudho.[2] Except Moracci, they joined the Serie C2 club on co-ownership deals.

In June 2008, Chievo gave the remaining 50% registration rights of Sansovino to Cassino. However, he soon retired from professional football.
