Reggiana edit

In June 2010 la Viola sold Bettoni to Reggiana[14] along with Piergiuseppe Maritato (€500) and defender Ramzi Aya (for €200,000), all three in co-ownership deal. Bettoni was tagged for a peppercorn fee of €500 only.[15] It was part of the compensation that Marco Romizi (€200,000) and Lorenzo Morelli (€150,000) returned to Florence. Co-owned player Matteo Arati also returned to Reggio Emilia on loan for one season. However Bettoni only played 3 times in Lega Pro Prima Divisione (Italian third division) and 9 more in Lega Pro Seconda Divisione (fourth division) for his loan club SanGiovannese.
