Nello Cusin was born in San Stino di Livenza near Venice on March 19, 1965.

He began to play football in the local club and in 1982 signed for Conigliano in Serie C2 where he made 17 appearances. After a year with Treviso in Serie C1, where he made just one appearance, in 1984 he joined Lazio as third goalkeeper, but in a disastrous year for the Biancocelesti he made just two appearances on the bench.
After moving to Como for a few months, in October 1985 he signed for Ospitaletto. He stayed two years making 61 league appearances. In 1987 he joined Bologna in Serie B. The club was promoted and he finally debuted in Serie A on October 9 ,1988 at Pisa. He stayed in Emilia Romagna until 1991, year in which Bologna were relegated, also playing in the UEFA Cup in 1990-91 and reaching the final of the Mitropa Cup in 1989.
He then signed for Brescia in 1991 and stayed until 1996, with the exception of a year on loan to Pescara. The Lombards were promoted to Serie A in 1991-92 but were immediately relegated. At Pescara he hardly played, just 5 appearances, and in his last year with Brescia he played just three games.
In 1996 he joined Casarano in Serie C1 where he played regularly and ended his career with the professionals at Lecco in 1999. After a final season in Serie D with Cuneo, he retired in 2000.
Once he stopped playing, he became a goalkeeper coach in the minor leagues of Emilia Romagna and was co-manager with Fabrizio Ferron of Scuola Portieri Uno in Bologna. In 2013-14 he was the goalkeeper coach for the Modena Primavera.
At Lazio he was unlucky, arriving in a bad year and having Nando Orsi and Massimo Cacciatori ahead of him in the pecking order.
