Davide Matteini

Matteini started his career at Empoli.

Palermo

After loaned to Serie C1 and Serie C2 clubs, he was signed by Palermo in January 2003, in joint-ownership bid, for €620,000. He just played once for Palermo in Serie B. Matteini then left on loan to Serie B and Serie C1 clubs. After he scored the career high in Serie B with 9 goals, he was loaned back to Empoli, which still hold half of his contractual rights. He played his first Serie A games against UC Sampdoria, 10 September 2006. He played 19 starts in 2006–07 Serie A.

Parma

In June 2007, Palermo got full contractual rights from Empoli for €330,000, but sold to Parma F.C. in join-ownership in August 2007 for €0.9 million. The deal offset the installment payments of 2006 signing of Mark Bresciano and Fábio Simplício. Parma also signed Igor Budan and Francesco Parravicini from Palermo earlier in July. He was signed by Vicenza on 31 January 2008 along with Ascoli winger Giampietro Perrulli. Matteini made 14 starts in the second half of 2007–08 Serie B.

Rimini

In January 2009, he left for Rimini for €1 million (nominal value) from Parma, with Palermo retained 50% registration rights. Parma also got Francesco Lunardini (€1 million) and Daniele Vantaggiato (€1.9 million) from Rimini as part of the deal. Rimini reached the promotion playoffs in 2009–10 Lega Pro Prima Divisione but lost it. In June 2010 Palermo gave up the remain 50% registration rights but the Rimini soon bankrupted.
