Schillaci was remembered for his memorable performance in the 1990 World Cup, he even faced Diego Armando Maradona, in the remembered final where Sergio Goycochea stopped several penalties. Salvatore began his career in Palermo in Italy, but there is no doubt that when he rebounded in his career was after his arrival at Juventus in Turin, a team with which he won the Italian Cup and the UEFA Cup.

After his retirement from professional soccer, Salvatore did not leave the cameras and participated in various media as a panelist for sports programs. In addition, he had participations in reality shows. Finally, it was known that he set up a soccer foundation for children with limited resources, it was named after him. He was a very media person and for the same reason his game was surprising for everyone in the world for soccer.

In the last interview that Schillaci gave to an Italian media, he confessed that in his country they not only loved him for his behavior on the court, but for how he was off it: "If they love me, it's not only for what I did on the court, but also off it. One can be a world-class player but also a stronzo (an asshole). The fact that I have entered the hearts of the Italians has to do with my behavior."

According to Salvatore Schillaci it is now easier to play football

The Italian confessed that before football was much more aggressive: "If I had played today, I would have scored many more goals.
