Manuel Pascali (born 9 September 1981 in Milan, Italy) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a centre back for Scottish Premier League side Kilmarnock.
He started his career with Sant'Angelo before moving on to Serie C2 with Pizzighettone and Carpenedolo. He then earned a move to Serie A with Parma in 2007, although he was loaned out to Foligno of Serie C1/A for the entire 2007–08 season.
He initially joined Kilmarnock on trial in July 2008 with a view to a one-year loan deal.[1] During this period however, his performances convinced manager Jim Jefferies to part with an undisclosed fee to acquire him on a three-year deal.[2]
Pascali has quickly established himself as a cult favourite with the fans at Rugby Park and his early influential performances have led to him being awarded the captains armband in the absence of club captain Gary Locke and his deputy James Fowler. His passion and commitment to the club have led the fans to regard Pascali as a Rugby Park fans favourite.
In November 2011, Pascali scored the winning goal for Kilmarnock in a 1-0 win at Rugby Park against Rangers in the Scottish Premier League.
In February 2012, Pascali broke his leg while stretching for the ball, meaning he will miss the rest of the 2011-12 season.
