Simone Pesce (born 10 July 1982) is an Italian football executive and former midfielder, who is the sporting director of Serie C Group A club Lumezzane.

On 31 August 2009, the final day of the transfer market, Calcio Catania announced the signings of Pesce from Ascoli in co-ownership deal for €500[2][3] and Giovanni Marchese from A.C. Chievo Verona.

[citation needed] Catania already negotiated with Ascoli earlier this summer purchasing Giuseppe Bellusci and also selling Vito Falconieri and Marcello Gazzola in co-ownership deals.

Pesce failed to make a major impact with the Sicilian club and solidify regular playing time as he made just five appearances, not scoring.

[4] In his six-month loan spell in the Serie B, Pesce quickly re-gained his starting position, and made 22 appearances, for the club.
