Amedeo Benedetti (born 25 October 1991) is an Italian footballer. He plays for club Benevento.
Benedetti started his career at Serie A club Chievo.
On 24 June 2010, 5 days before the closure of 2009–10 financial year of "A.C. Chievo-Verona S.r.l." and "Vicenza Calcio S.p.A.", Benedetti was swapped with Mattia Minesso. Both players were valued €2 million,[1] thus no cash involved. Both club also retained 50% registration rights for €1M as part of co-ownership deal.[1] Benedetti signed a 4-year contract.[2] The deal made both club had an immediately selling profit on both players, a speculative future re-sell revenue and/or speculative players performance and a heavy cost in the future as amortization.
Both players were loaned to Lega Pro clubs. Benedetti joined Pro Patria of the second division of Lega Pro (ex-Serie C) in July 2010.[3] Benedetti was the starting defender of Pro Patria with 27 league appearances.
In June 2011, both players returned to their mother clubs with the same price (€1M for 50% rights), made that financial year in fact no amortization expense of €500,000 to deteriorate the situation but in the future did. That month, Chievo also swapped with other clubs as a trick to "fix" the financial situation.
Chievo failed to find a new buyer for Benedetti or may led to immediate negative financial impact. and Chievo chose to amortize the €2M in installments in the lifespan of his contract, despite it was impaired with the benefit (income or performance) generated by the player. Since 2011, Benedetti had spent 6 seasons on loan from Chievo.
Benedetti spent his 2011–12 season at Lega Pro Prima Divisione club Pisa.[4]
Benedetti was the starting left-back (wing-back) of Pisa in 4–4–2 or 3–5–2 formation.
In July 2012 the loan was renewed.[5]
On 9 July 2013 he was signed by Lumezzane.[6] The loan was renewed again on 17 July 2014.[7]
On 2 February 2015 he was signed by Reggina along with Chievo team-mate Kevin Magri.[8]
On 24 July 2015 Benedetti, Yusupha Bobb and Lamin Jallow were signed by A.S. Cittadella in temporary deals.[9] On 5 July 2016 the loan was renewed.[10]
In summer 2017 he joined Cittadella in a definitive deal.
On 22 July 2022, Benedetti moved to Pordenone on a two-year deal.[11]
On 17 July 2023, Benedetti joined Benevento.[12]
