Club career

Early career

Binotto started his professional career in 1993 at Juventus F.C.. He spent two seasons on loan at Serie B clubs, before joining Hellas Verona F.C., who were in Serie A at that time. He struggled to break into the first team, however, and remained with the team until the club's relegation in the summer of 1997.

Bologna

He then joined Bologna F.C. 1909 in the summer of 1998 in a co-ownership deal, for 150 million lire, where he played 62 Serie A games in three seasons. In May 2000 Bologna bought Binotto outright for 10 billion lire, but in pure player swap, and Bologna bought back most of the players for free, made the deal purely financial tricks.

Internazionale

He was signed by Internazionale in June 2001, in a co-ownership deal, in exchange for Fabio Macellari, who went to Bologna. Both Binotto and Macellari were "valued" at 12 billion lire.
He was immediately loaned out to Chievo, Brescia and Como.

Late career

Binotto returned to Bologna in January 2004, after the co-ownership deal was terminated ca. January 2003, but not until the summer of 2004 was he included in the team again. He then played for Pistoiese and Triestina in the 2005–06 season, and Casalecchio of Eccellenza in the 2006–07 season.
