Giovanni De Biasi or Gianni De Biasi (Italian pronunciation: [ˈdʒanni de ˈbjaːzi]; born 16 June 1956 in Sarmede, Treviso, Italy) is an Italian and Albanian football coach and former player, who serves as head coach of Albania national team. He holds dual Italian and Albanian citizenship. De Biasi was the first coach of Albania to qualify them for a major tournament, and he achieved that by qualifying the team for the Euro 2016 championship.
On March 28, 2015 De Biasi obtained Albanian citizenship.
De Biasi, a midfielder, started his professional playing career for Inter Milan; he was part of the first team squad but, despite this, never played for the nerazzurri and was then loaned to Serie C team Reggiana in 1975 and newly promoted Serie A club Pescara Calcio one year later. He was sold to Brescia in 1977 as partial compensation for the signing of Evaristo Beccalossi by Inter. De Biasi played in Brescia for five seasons, only one of them in Serie A. He then moved to Palermo in 1983, but abruptly left it three years later following the cancellation of the Sicilian club in the summer of 1986. This was followed by a single season with Vicenza and two Serie C2 seasons for Treviso. De Biasi retired from active football in 1990, after a Serie D season with Bassano.
