Giovanni Pasquale (born 5 January 1982 in Venaria Reale, Piedmont) is an Italian footballer who last played as a full-back for Serie A side Udinese.
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.
After the signing of Giuseppe Favalli, he was out-favored by coach Roberto Mancini and sent on loan to Siena and Parma.
Following Francesco Coco failed to make a permanent move and returned to Internazionale. Livorno signed Pasquale in a co-ownership deal, for €750,000. The co-ownership deal turned to permanent a year later, for another €400,000. (made a financial loss of €350,000 for the discount) He was the regular for the Serie A struggler, but after the team relegated again in June 2008, he was sold to Udinese which qualified to 2008–09 UEFA Cup.
Pasquale played regularly in 2008–09 season, Udinese used different squad for Serie A and UEFA Cup. Although Udinese failed to qualified again for UEFA Cup, the team signed Pasquale permanently from by-then Serie B promotion playoffs winner Livorno in June 2009. But he became Aleksandar Luković's backup in left back position in 2009–10 season, and played a few matches as left midfielder. But in January the coach changed the tactic which Luković became centre-back and Pasquale became left-back again, since against Napoli on 7 February.
