Michele Pazienza (Italian pronunciation: [miˈkɛle patˈtsjɛntsa]; born 5 August 1982) is an Italian footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Italian club Reggiana in Lega Pro.

Career

Pazienza was born in San Severo (Foggia province) and grew up in A.C.D. Foggia's youth team. He made his debut with the first team in Serie C2 in 2000. Pazienza played with Foggia until 2003, scoring 6 goals in 88 appearances, and helping the team reach the promotion play-offs in 2002, and promotion to Serie C1 in 2003.[1]

The following season he then transferred to Udinese, also making his Serie A debut with the club.[1] After making 52 appearances in his two seasons with the club, he left on loan to Fiorentina for the 2005–06 and 2006–07 seasons,[2] and was then purchased outright by the club in June 2007;[3] in total, he made 52 appearances for the team.[1] During the 2008 winter transfer window, he was purchased by Napoli for a fee of €4.8 million.[4] In total, he made 106 appearances for the club, scoring 4 goals.[1]

On 9 June 2011 Pazienza signed a 3-year contract with Juventus on a free transfer.[3][5] After only making 8 appearances under Antonio Conte, he moved on loan from Juventus back to Udinese on 31 January 2012, where he played the remainder of the season, making 15 appearances and scoring a goal, for a total of 23 Serie A appearances that season. On 30 August 2012 he was purchased by Bologna.[1]

On 14 July 2015 Pazienza was signed by Vicenza Calcio on a free transfer;[6] he was awarded the number 4 shirt.[7]

In 2016, he transferred to Lega Pro side Reggiana.[8]

Style of play

Although Pazienza primarily excels as a ball winner, and at breaking down opposition attacks, he is also capable of aiding his team offensively, due to his stamina, work-rate, dynamism, finesse, and ability to make attacking runs into the area; he is also able to aid his team creatively and is an effective assist provider.[9][10]
