José Germano de Sales (25 March 1942 – 4 October 1997) was a Brazilian footballer.[2][3]
Having been transferred to AC Milan from Flamengo in the summer of 1962 at the age of 20, he became the first ever black player to play for the Italian club. Despite a very successful start (3 goals in 5 games), he was soon loaned out to Genoa in November 1962, where he spent the rest of that season with 12 games and 2 goals for the Genoese club.[4][5]
