Pasquale Marino (born 13 July 1962) is an Italian football manager and former player, currently in charge of {{Italian football updater|Salernitana}} club Salernitana.

Playing career

A midfielder, Marino started for his home team, Marsala. Marino never played in divisions higher than Serie C1 and ended his career for Catania in 1996–97.

Coaching career

His coaching career began in 1997–98 for Serie D team Milazzo, where he nearly won the league on his debut, ending in second place. However, his outbreak came at Paternò, which he led on two consecutive promotions from Serie D to Serie C1. He then signed for Serie C2 Foggia, which led to an immediate Serie C1 promotion. He made his Serie B debut in 2004–05 with Arezzo, replacing Mario Somma. Fired in the half-season and replaced by Marco Tardelli, he was successively recalled at the helm of the team, ending in 14th place.

In 2005, he became coach of Catania: in his first season for the rossoblu, Marino brought the team back to Serie A after over 20 years. He also coached Catania in its 2006–07 Serie A campaign. After a very impressive start that brought Catania up to the highest table positions, Catania experienced a negative streak following the riots in the Sicilian derby, which caused the death of a policeman and resulted in the Catania home stadium to be disqualified for the remainder of the season. After Catania saved in the last matchday, thanks to a 2–1 win to relegation rivals Chievo, Marino announced he would leave his post. He later signed a four-year contract with Udinese. Speaking to SkyItalia in the post-match interview, Marino didn't hide his disappointment following the lacklustre display by his side against bottom-placed Reggina. “We were awful this afternoon, and despite having a numerical advantage, it seemed as if we were the team playing in nine men," snarled Marino. "I am very disappointed with the display despite the positive result. I certainly was not expecting such a poor display from my men today, as I expect everyone to give their all when they put on the Zebrette shirt.”[http://www.goal.com/en/news/10/italy/2009/04/12/1205554/udineses-marino-unhappy-despite-reggina-victory Udinese’s Marino Unhappy Despite Reggina Victory].

He was stripped of his managerial duties on 22 December 2009, as Udinese failed to impress in the first half of the 2009–10 season, and was replaced by Gianni De Biasi.{{Cite news|url=http://www.repubblica.it/sport/calcio/serie-a/udinese/2009/12/21/news/marino_esonerato_de_biasi_al_suo_posto-1845381/|title=Marino esonerato De Biasi al suo posto – Repubblica.it|work=La Repubblica|access-date=4 July 2018|language=it}}{{Cite web|url=http://www.goal.com/en/news/10/italian-football/2009/12/22/1703082/udinese-sack-pasquale-marino-appoint-gianni-de-biasi|title=Udinese Sack Pasquale Marino & Appoint Gianni De Biasi – Official {{!}} Goal.com|website=www.goal.com|language=en|access-date=4 July 2018}} He was appointed back at the helm of Udinese on 21 February 2010, after De Biasi was sacked due to poor results.{{Cite news|url=https://www.tio.ch/sport/532755/de-biasi-esonerato--torna-marino|title=De Biasi esonerato, torna Marino|date=21 February 2010|work=Ticinonline|access-date=4 July 2018|language=it-IT}}

In June 2010 he was appointed new head coach of Parma, replacing Francesco Guidolin.{{cite news |url=http://www.fcparma.com/stagione/archivio-news/6951-pasquale-marino-al-parma-domani-306-presentazione-ufficiale.html |publisher=Parma FC |language=it |access-date=2 June 2010 |date=2 June 2010 |title=Pasquale Marino al Parma – Domani, 3/06 presentazione ufficiale |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101128230855/http://fcparma.com/stagione/archivio-news/6951-pasquale-marino-al-parma-domani-306-presentazione-ufficiale.html |archive-date=28 November 2010 }} On 3 April 2011 Marino, after the home defeat with Bari was sacked.[http://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/SerieA/Parma/03-04-2011/bari-inguaia-parma-80715440218.shtml Il Bari inguaia il ParmaE Marino viene esonerato – La Gazzetta dello Sport].

He then accepted an offer to become the new head coach of Serie B promotion hopefuls Pescara for the 2013–14 season but was dismissed later throughout the season due to poor results.

Marino returned into management on 30 October 2014, taking over from Giovanni Lopez at Vicenza, still in Serie B.{{ cite news |url=http://www.vicenzacalcio.com/pasquale-marino-e-lallenatore-del-vicenza/ |language=it |access-date=30 October 2014 |publisher=Vicenza Calcio |date=30 October 2014 |title=PASQUALE MARINO È L'ALLENATORE DEL VICENZA |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150626130406/http://www.vicenzacalcio.com/pasquale-marino-e-lallenatore-del-vicenza/ |archive-date=26 June 2015 }}

On 6 June 2016, Marino was appointed manager of Frosinone.{{cite web| url = http://www.football-italia.net/85465/official-marino-frosinone| url-status = dead| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160805015722/http://www.football-italia.net/85465/official-marino-frosinone| archive-date = 5 August 2016| title = Official: Marino for Frosinone {{!}} Football Italia}} He left the club by the end of the season, after losing automatic promotion on the final days of the season, and then being surprisingly defeating by Carpi in the playoff semi-finals.

On 12 October 2017, he was named new head coach of Serie B club Brescia.{{cite news |url=http://www.bresciacalcio.it/stagione/news/5568-pasquale-marino-e-il-nuovo-allenatore-delle-rondinelle.html | publisher=Brescia Calcio |language=it |access-date=15 October 2017 |date=12 October 2017 |title=Pasquale Marino è il nuovo allenatore delle rondinelle }} He was dismissed by Brescia on 16 January 2018.{{cite web|publisher=Brescia Calcio|language=it|url=https://www.bresciacalcio.it/news/ultime-news/11573/roberto-boscaglia-nuovo-allenatore-del-brescia|title=Roberto Boscaglia nuovo allenatore del Brescia|date=16 January 2018}}

On 7 June 2019, he was named the new head coach of Serie B club Palermo, thus marking his comeback as a head coach in his native Sicily.{{cite news |url=https://palermocalcio.it/it/news/marino-egrave-l-allenatore-del-palermo_36951/ |publisher=US Città di Palermo |access-date=8 June 2019 |date=7 June 2019 |title=MARINO È L'ALLENATORE DEL PALERMO |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190608000953/https://palermocalcio.it/it/news/marino-egrave-l-allenatore-del-palermo_36951/ |archive-date=8 June 2019 |url-status=dead }} However, he never actually managed to serve on his role as the club was excluded from Serie B on 12 July 2019 due to financial irregularities.

On 26 January 2020, he was appointed as head coach of Serie B club Empoli.{{Cite web|url=https://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/Serie-B/26-01-2020/empoli-altro-cambio-panchina-via-muzzi-arriva-marino-360424207516.shtml|title=Empoli, altro cambio in panchina: via Muzzi, arriva Marino|date=26 January 2020|website=La Gazzetta dello Sport|language=it-IT|access-date=26 January 2020}}
