Giovanni Martusciello (born 19 August 1971) is an Italian footballer who is manager of Empoli.
An attacking midfielder, Martusciello started his career in his native island of Ischia, playing with then-Serie C1 club Ischia Isolaverde. He left his hometown club in 1995 to join Empoli, also in the Serie C1 league, being one of the protagonist of the club's two consecutive promotions up to the Serie A under young coach Luciano Spalletti. He made his top flight debut on 31 August 1997, in a game against Roma.
In 1999 he left Empoli to join Genoa, and then down to Serie C1 with Palermo in January 2000. He returned to play Serie B with Cittadella and Catania in the following three seasons before ending his career after minor league stints with Sambenedettese, Lucchese and Pontedera.
After his retirement as a footballer, Martusciello returned to Empoli, this time as a youth coach. He was then promoted as assistant under Alfredo Aglietti, then Maurizio Sarri and, lastly, Marco Giampaolo. In the summer of 2016, he was named new head coach of Empoli for the upcoming 2016–17 Serie A campaign, in what it was his first role as a head coach outright.
