Aglietti started his career at amateur club Rondinella before a stint at Pontedera saw him land in Reggina by 1994, playing in Serie C1 at the time.

After providing a valuable goalscoring effort at the lower level of the Italian football pyramid, Aglietti quickly adapted to his new surroundings.

Following Napoli's purchases of Igor Protti and Claudio Bellucci, Aglietti was sold to Hellas Verona, where he spent three seasons, scoring 18 league goals for the club in 73 appearances.

After making some playing appearances for amateur clubs, Aglietti switched to a coaching career, starting with a number of youth teams before taking charge at Empoli in 2010.
