Giovanni Pasquale (born 5 January 1982) is an Italian football coach and former professional player who played as a full-back. He is the manager for the amateur side ASD Venaria Reale.
Career[edit]
Inter[edit]
Pasquale started his career at Internazionale. Due to Francesco Coco's performance, he gained a place in first team. In January 2003, he signed a new contract for the club along with Nicola Beati and Obafemi Martins.[1]
After the signing of Giuseppe Favalli, he was out-favored by coach Roberto Mancini and sent on loan to Siena[2] and Parma.[3]
Livorno[edit]
Following Coco's failure to make a permanent move and subsequently returning to Internazionale, Livorno signed Pasquale in a co-ownership deal,[4] for €750,000.[5] The co-ownership deal turned to a permanent one a year later, for €400,000.[5] He was a regular player, but after the team was relegated again in June 2008, he was sold to Udinese, which qualified to the 2008–09 UEFA Cup.
Udinese[edit]
Although Udinese failed to qualify again for the UEFA Cup, the team signed Pasquale permanently from by-then Serie B promotion playoffs winner Livorno in June 2009, where he again played regularly, but he eventually became Aleksandar Luković's backup in the left-back position during the 2009–10 season, and played a few matches as left midfielder. But, in January, the team's formation was changed, in which Luković became centre-back and Pasquale became left-back again, since the match against Napoli on 7 February.
In 2010–11 season, he became backup to Pablo Armero, playing as a wing-back in a new 3–5–2 formation.
2011–12[edit]
After Udinese sold a vast number of players, the formation was again changed against Arsenal in 2011–12 UEFA Champions League playoffs round, with Armero as left midfielder and Neuton as new left-back. Pasquale played twice as substitute. However, he was excluded from the 25-men squad to the 2011–12 UEFA Europa League.
Due to the exclusion from the European matches, he was a starter in the 2011–12 Serie A's first round, with Neuton as backup and Armero ailing[6] in Udinese's landmark 3–5–2 formation, as the squad was changed to become more competitive in domestic and international competitions.
On 1 February 2012, Pasquale was re-instated to the Europa League squad. He played the first knock-out round as left winger in the 3–5–1–1 formation, with Armero moving to the attacking midfielder role.
In October 2012, he signed a new contract which would last until 30 June 2016, adding three more years to his previous contract.[7]
Loan to Torino[edit]
In August 2013, he was loaned to Torino after original signing Andrea Dossena failed his medical tests with the club.[8] He debuted as a final substitute against Milan on 14 September 2013, conceding a penalty in stoppage time which gave Milan the opportunity to draw the game, which ended 2–2.[9] Originally a backup player, he was inserted into the starting lineup after left-back Danilo D'Ambrosio was frozen out of the squad following a contract dispute.[10][11]
However, his uninspiring performances soon led to him being dropped in favour of Salvatore Masiello,[12] who was injured while warming up before the derby in February 2014 with Juventus.[13] In the same month, Pasquale was also injured, prematurely ending his season with just 13 appearances.[14][15]
