[2] In June 2007, Chievo had to rebuild the team due to relegation, and Bentivoglio was signed permanently for €500,000.

[3] Bentivoglio moved to Serie B club Sampdoria on 24 August 2011 for a season-long loan deal.

After the loan at Brescia in the 2014–2015 season, on 1 July 2015, he returned to Chievo Verona on 28 August but rescinded his contract by mutual agreement, thus remaining unattached; three days later he was hired by Modena.

On 19 March 2024, Bentivoglio was hired as the new head coach of Serie C club Arzignano, with Siniša Anđelković as his assistant.
