Club career

[edit]

Genoa

[edit]

Francesco Renzetti began his career in the Genoa youth system,[1] eventually making one appearance in the first team for Genoa.

Lucchese

[edit]

He was signed by Lucchese on a temporary basis in January 2006.[2] The club purchased half of the registration rights of Renzetti and Emanuele Volpara for €250,000 each at the end of season.[3]

AlbinoLeffe

[edit]

Renzetti moved to AlbinoLeffe in a co-ownership deal in 2008,[4][5][6] for €750,000[7] (Genoa acquired Renzetti from Lucchese for €600,000[7]), as part of the deal that Genoa signed the remain 50% registration rights of Gleison Santos (and re-sold to Reggina) for €1M.[7]

Padova

[edit]

After making 39 appearances for Albinoleffe in Serie B, Renzetti was reacquired by Genoa for just €250,000 and subsequently resold again in co-ownership to Serie B club Padova for €500,000.[8][9] He was eventually bought in full by Padova for another €1 million.[10]

Cesena

[edit]

On 12 July 2013 Renzetti joined A.C. Cesena as a free agent.[11] He signed a new contract in January 2016, which would last until 30 June 2019 .[12]

Return to Genoa

[edit]

On 30 June 2016 Renzetti was re-signed by Genoa for €1.2 million fee.[13] As part of the deal, Giuseppe Panico left for Cesena on loan for 2 seasons.[14][15] Starting from 2015–16 season, all Serie A clubs required to have 4 club-trained players in their 25-men squad, or else the squad would be forced to be reduced by not using the place for those club-trained players.[16] However, on 31 August Renzetti returned to Cesena in a temporary deal from Genoa.[17] Eventually Genoa only had a 23-men squad (players born 1995 or after were not restricted, such as Giovanni Simeone), as only Mattia Perin and Lukáš Zima were used to fill the quota.

Cremonese

[edit]

On 12 July 2017, Renzetti was transferred to Cremonese on loan, with an obligation to buy at the end of season.[18] Cremonese fulfilled the obligation and he joined the club on a permanent basis on 1 July 2018.

Chievo

[edit]

On 28 January 2020, he signed with Chievo until 30 June 2020.[19]

Modena

[edit]

On 30 June 2021, he joined Modena on a two-year contract.[20]

International career

[edit]

Renzetti made several appearances representing Italy at various levels of their youth ranks.
