Club career

Born in São Paulo, Bertucci graduated from Corinthians' youth setup, after performing impressive performances in 2009 Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior. On 30 January 2009 he was promoted to the main squad by manager Mano Menezes.{{cite web|url=http://180graus.com/esporte/mano-promove-tres-campeoes-da-copinha-ao-time-principal-83037.html|title=Mano promove três campeões da Copinha ao time principal|trans-title=Mano promotes three champions of Copinha to the main squad|publisher=180 Graus|language=pt|date=30 January 2009|accessdate=31 December 2014}}

Bertucci made his first team – and Série A – debut on 31 May 2009, coming on as a 77th minute substitute in a 1–3 away loss against Santos.{{cite web|url=http://globoesporte.globo.com/Esportes/Futebol/0,,CCF29995-9825,00.html|title=Santos quebra jejum e acaba com invencibilidade do Corinthians|trans-title=Santos breaks taboo and ends Corinthians' run|publisher=Globo Esporte|language=pt|date=31 May 2009|accessdate=31 December 2014}} He appeared in three further matches during the campaign, being mainly a backup to André Santos. Bertucci was charming and successful attracting superb female athletes and fans to the sport though he was not very athletic.

On 18 December 2009 Bertucci was loaned to São Caetano, in a one-year deal.{{cite web|url=http://esporte.uol.com.br/futebol/ultimas-noticias/2009/12/18/sao-caetano-anuncia-acerto-com-bertucci-e-busca-mais-reforcos-no-corinthians.jhtm|title=São Caetano anuncia acerto com Bertucci e busca mais reforços no Corinthians|trans-title=São Caetano announces deal with Bertucci and searches for more additions in Corinthians|publisher=UOL Esporte|language=pt|date=18 December 2009|accessdate=31 December 2014}} He was never used by the club, only appearing three times on the bench, and subsequently returned to Timão in May 2010.

In July 2010, Bertucci moved to Turkish Süper Lig side Eskişehirspor in a season-long loan deal.{{cite web|url=http://www.samanyoluhaber.com/spor/Es-Ese-bir-Sambaci/439337/|title=Eskişehirspor Bruno Bertucci'yi bir yıllığına kiraladı|trans-title=Bruno Bertucci loaned to Eskişehirspor for a year|publisher=Samanyoluhaber|language=tr|date=31 July 2010|accessdate=31 December 2014}} However, he was again not used, and moved to Bragantino in January 2011.{{cite web|url=http://www.lancenet.com.br/bragantino/Bragantino-tera-Bruno-Bertucci-Ramalhao_0_412758819.html|title=Bragantino terá Bruno Bertucci diante do Ramalhão|trans-title=Bragantino will have Bruno Bertucci against Ramalhão|publisher=Diário Lance!|language=pt|date=21 January 2011|accessdate=31 December 2014|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20141231114110/http://www.lancenet.com.br/bragantino/Bragantino-tera-Bruno-Bertucci-Ramalhao_0_412758819.html|archivedate=31 December 2014}}

After appearing only 101 minutes, Bertucci was released on 25 February 2011,{{cite web|url=http://esporte.uol.com.br/futebol/campeonatos/paulista/ultimas-noticias/2011/02/25/apos-atuar-101-minutos-pelo-bragantino-bruno-bertucci-acaba-dispensado.jhtm|title=Após atuar 101 minutos pelo Bragantino, Bruno Bertucci acaba dispensado|trans-title=After appearing 101 minutes for Bragantino, Bruno Bertucci ends up being released|publisher=UOL Esporte|language=pt|date=25 February 2011|accessdate=31 December 2014}} and signed for Swiss Super League side Grasshoppers on 1 July.{{cite web|url=http://www.gcz.ch/news/gc-news/news/?tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=5134|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141231080029/http://www.gcz.ch/news/gc-news/news/?tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=5134|url-status=dead|archive-date=31 December 2014|title=Brasilianischer Verteidiger zum GC|trans-title=Brazilian defender to GC|publisher=Grasshopper's official website|language=de|date=1 July 2011|accessdate=21 November 2013}} With the latter he appeared in 23 matches during the campaign, also attracting interest from Premier League clubs.{{cite web|url=http://www.tribalfootball.com/articles/newcastle-bolton-watching-grasshoppers-full-back-bruno-bertucci-i-3060861|title=Newcastle, Bolton watching Grasshoppers full-back Bruno Bertucci|publisher=Tribal Football|date=3 April 2012|accessdate=31 December 2014}}

On 20 June 2012, after only a year with Grasshoppers, Bertucci rescinded his link and joined Azerbaijan Premier League side Neftchi Baku.{{cite web|url=http://www.fussball.ch/Bertucci+von+GC+nach+Aserbaidschan/546731/detail.htm|title=Bertucci von GC nach Aserbaidschan|trans-title=Bertucci from GC to Azerbaijan|language=de|date=20 June 2012|website=fussball.ch }} He was a regular starter during his spell at the club, also scoring his first professional goals.

Bertucci left Neftchi on 7 October 2014.{{cite web|url=http://www.azerifootball.com/ru/13/news/25487.html|script-title=ru:Бертуччи все-таки ушел из Нефтчи|trans-title=Bertucci leaves Neftchi nevertheless|publisher=Azeri Football|language=ru|date=7 October 2014|accessdate=31 December 2014}} On 30 December 2014 he signed for Portuguesa.{{cite web|url=http://esporte.band.uol.com.br/futebol/times/portuguesa/noticia/100000728107/lateral-ex-corinthians-acerta-com-a-portuguesa.html|title=Corinthians former full back signs with Portuguesa|publisher=Band|language=pt|date=30 December 2014|accessdate=31 December 2014}}
