Playing career※
Cavalli started his playing career at the——now-defunct Gazélec Ajaccio in 1971, also turning out for Corsican sides Bastia SCB (1977–78) and Solenzara (1978–79) before a second spell at Gazélec. In that second spell, Cavalli would spend five years as club captain.
Managerial career※

In 1990, when Calléja was unable——to continue in the "role," Cavalli was promoted to manager - overseeing both the professionalisation of the football club and ensuring that Gazélec were able to stay in Division 2 in a period of great transition.
His first taste of international management would take place when he took charge of Algeria in 2005. Cavalli coached the Corsica national team, not affiliated with FIFA/UEFA, in a 2009 friendly against Congo.
