late in second half, and made an immediate impact, assisting Amauri
to score the only goal of the match. On December 7, 2008 he scored his first goal for Juventus, a free kick against Lecce
in a 2–1 win. In October 2008, he signed a contract extension, tying him to Juventus until the summer of 2013. He ended the season with 3 goals in all competitions, including a volley against Bologna where he turned in a man-of-the-match performance as Juventus won 4–1.
Despite a bright start, Giovinco did not play regularly and made sporadic appearances throughout the season both in the starting eleven and off the bench as he struggled to fit into Ranieri's preferred 4–4–2 formation. The signing of Diego
in the 2009 summer transfer window confined him to the bench but new manager Ciro Ferrara
confirmed that the youngster will be back-up to the Brazilian international. When Ferrara was forced into a tactical switch due to injuries to first choice midfielders Mauro Camoranesi
and Marchisio during various times, Giovinco was drafted into the starting line-up and helped Juve to a 5–1 hammering of Sampdoria
in only his fourth start of the season. Under Ferrara's successor Alberto Zaccheroni, he hardly featured at all due to the changes in formation and his position was taken by young midfielder Antonio Candreva

On January 6, 2011, Giovinco while on loan scored two goals for Parma in a 1-4 win against his parent club Juventus. Towards the end of the season, he again scored to contribute to a victory over his permanent club.

on June 1, 2007 and was instrumental in their 4–0 thrashing of Albania
.
He also starred at the 2008 Toulon Tournament
, where he was voted most valuable player, scoring two goals in the opening game against the Ivory Coast, and netting the winning penalty in the semifinal match against Japan. Italy ultimately won the competition, defeating Chile 1–0 in the final. That summer, he and Juventus teammates Claudio Marchisio
and Paolo De Ceglie
were named in the squad for the 2008 Olympics. He scored the first goal in a 3–0 win against Honduras in the first match of the competition where he struck the ball from outside of the box with his weaker left foot and also impressed in the match against South Korea. Unfortunately his strong performances could not prevent the Azzurrini from losing 3–2 in a hard-fought quarterfinal against Belgium.
In the summer of 2009, Giovinco was called-up the U-21 side for the European Championships
in Sweden after playing a part in their successful qualifying campaign. He formed partnerships with Robert Acquafresca
and Mario Balotelli
in an impressive three-pronged attack. Giovinco started in every single match at the tournament but Italy lost to eventual winners Germany 1–0 in a tightly contested semifinal.

debut on 9 February 2011, in the friendly game played against Germany
in Dortmund
. After some promising substitute appearances, manager Cesare Prandelli
stated that he will give Giovinco his full debut as a starter alongside Antonio Cassano
