Pasquale Mazzocchi (born 27 July 1995) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a wing-back or full-back for Serie A club Napoli.

Club career

Mazzocchi made his Serie C debut for Pro Piacenza on 31 August 2014, in a game against Grosseto.^[1]

On 9 July 2018, he signed a four-year contract with Serie B club Perugia.^[2]

On 25 January 2022, Mazzocchi joined Serie A side Salernitana on loan from league rivals Venezia with a conditional obligation to buy.^[3]

On 5 January 2024, Mazzocchi joined reigning Serie A champions Napoli on a permanent deal,^[4][5] signing a three-and-a-half-year contract with the club.^[5][6] The transfer reportedly commanded a fee of about €3 million.^[6] Two days later, on his debut for the Partenopei, Mazzocchi received a straight red card just four minutes after coming on as a second-half substitute, following a VAR check, in a 3–0 league loss away to Torino.^[7][8] It was the third-fastest send-off for a debuting player in the history of Serie A, behind only Rolando Bianchi and Francesco Cassata.^[9]

International career

On 17 September 2022, Mazzocchi received his first Italy national team callup, as manager Roberto Mancini named him to be part of the squad for the UEFA Nations League games against England and Hungary. He made his debut against Hungary in a 2–0 win.^[10]
