Born to Italian immigrants in Narbonne, Sangalli was capped 15 times for France as a centre, debuting in 1975.[1] He toured South Africa in his first year with the national side and had a significant role in France's 1977 Five Nations grand slam, with his 46th-minute try proving the difference in the 4–3 win over England at Twickenham.[2]

Sangalli has had a long association with RC Narbonne, where he spent his entire playing career, the highlight of which was a Brennus Shield win in 1979. He served as club president during the early 1990s.[3]
