[edit]

Masucci graduated from the reserve in June 2004. That transfer window he was signed by Serie C2 team Sassuolo. The team also signed numbers of player that season, which some of them became the protagonist for the promotion from Serie C2 to Serie B in 2008. As of 2011–12 season, Masucci, Nicolò Consolini, Marco Piccioni and Alberto Pomini were the only four players from the original 2004–05 squad plus Francesco Magnanelli who already played for the Emilia team since 2005.

Masucci was the starting forward in promotion playoffs in 2005 (partnering Andreini; substituted by Gilioli in the return leg), 2006,[4][5][6] 2007 (in 4–3–3 formation: Erpen–Selva–Masucci). In 2008 Sassuolo finished as the first in the Group A of 2007–08 Serie C1 and won the 2008 Supercoppa di Lega di Prima Divisione to become the grand champion of the third division. However Masucci did not play.[7] Masucci scored 9 goals in 2007–08 season. As Masucci sometimes wore no.7 before the team had a fix number in 2008 (but also wore no.11), Masucci sometimes incorrectly known as midfielder, as the line-up in the news usually listed players in alphabetical order (from 1 to 11) or according to position (from keeper, defender, midfielder to forward). Masucci also wore no.7 shirt since the team had a fix number in Serie B.
