Salvatore "Sasà" Campilongo (born 1 August 1961) is an Italianfootball manager and a formerstriker. He is currently managingLamezia Terme in theSerie D league.
Born inNaples, Campilongo started his career withJuve Stabia, then joiningLazio in 1980 and making hisSerie A debut on 4 May 1980 with thebiancazzurri jersey. He successively played another Serie A season, this time withAvellino, in1980–1981 with little success. He then went on to play for lower league teams fromSerie C1,Serie C2 andInterregionale. He then returned into high level football withCasertana, being a protagonist of therossoblu's promotion toSerie B. He then spent his later years withVenezia in Serie B,Palermo in Serie C1, and more Serie C teams fromCampania andLazio before to retire in 2000.
In 2002 Campilongo was appointed head coach ofCasertana inSerie D. In 2004, he went on to becomeCavese boss, leading the Campanian team fromSerie C2 to a narrowly missed promotion toSerie B. In 2007, he left Cavese to joinSerie C1 promotion hopefulsFoggia, only to be fired a few months later by thesatanelli management. In October 2008,Serie B low-table clubAvellino appointed Campilongo as new head coach; in his first weeks with thebiancoverdi, Campilongo led his new club to reviving, impressive results. However, financial troubles which ultimately led to the exclusion of Avellino from professional football in the summer 2009 prevented the team from ultimately escaping relegation, and thebiancoverdi completed the league season in 21st place.
In July 2009 Campilongo was appointed at the helm of ambitious Tuscan outfitEmpoli, a team he was part of as a player from 1981 to 1983, with the aim to guide his new club back into the top flight.

On 7 January 2012, Campilongo was named new head coach of relegation-threatenedNocerina, taking over fromGaetano Auteri,[3] until 23 January 2012 when he rescinds the contract by mutual agreement with the company after two defeats in as many races and the last place in the ranking.[4]
On 6 July 2012, he was named new coach ofIschia inSerie D; in January 2014 he was sacked from Ischia.
On 2 July 2014, he signed toRimini inSerie D but about two months later, before the season, he rescinded the contract by mutual consent. On 24 November 2014, he became coach ofCasertana. In November 2015 he became coach ofTaranto, but after about two months, is relieved. On 8 January 2017, he was appointed coach ofVibonese.
On 17 September 2019, he returned toCavese inSerie C.[5] He left Cavese at the end of the 2019–20 season. He returned at Cavese on 28 December 2020.[6] He was sacked on 4 April 2021 after failing to overturn the club's fortunes, leaving Cavese at the bottom of the Serie C league table.[7]
On 14 December 2021, he took over the reins of Serie D clubLamezia Terme.[8]
