Sal Zizzo landed with the New York Red Bulls in rare circumstances for the current squad: an absolute steal of a deal that Ali Curtis didn't engineer. As far as we know, anyway. Zizzo was the 18th pick of the 2014 Expansion Draft (about two weeks before Curtis was appointed the Red Bulls' sporting director), nabbed by New York City FC and promptly flipped out to RBNY in exchange for a one-year loan of Ryan Meara. After the 2015 season, the Red Bulls got Meara back, still had Zizzo, and had won the Supporters' Shield for the second time in three years.
For two seasons, Sal Zizzo has been RBNY's in-a-pinch starting right back, now he considers it his position of choice.
