Davide Moscardelli (born 3 February 1980) is a Belgium-born Italian footballer who plays for Arezzo as a striker.
Moscardelli had spent 7 seasons in Serie B and scored 75 goals. He was nicknamed Battigol as he was compared with Gabriel Batistuta during his stay with Serie B teams.
Moscardelli is also something of an Internet personality, having many pages on social network dedicated solely to him and his beard.
Born in Mons, Belgium, Moscardelli started his career with an Italian amateur club from Maccarese, Fiumicino, Lazio, which played in Promozione Lazio (1997–2000, seventh level) and Eccellenza Lazio (2000–01, sixth level). He scored 20 league goals in 27 league games with his new team Guidonia Montecelio in 2001–02 Eccellenza Lazio season. However he also caused the team to be deducted 10 points, after he was made to play despite being disqualified. The team still got promoted despite the heavy penalty, as the club defeated Umbrian side Deruta in the Eccellenza national promotion play-offs, as one of the 7 winners.
His efficiency attracted the interest of Serie A side Chievo who offered him a professional contract, but farmed him to Serie C2 side Sangiovannese in a co-ownership deal. With the Tuscany based team, he scored an average of 0.5 goals per league games. In June 2003, Sangiovannese bought him outright, but sold him to Serie B side Triestina.
