The team won promotion playoffs but then went bankrupt. FIGC allowed a new successor team admitted in 2005–06 Serie B but the players were also allowed to leave on free transfer.
In August 2005, he was signed by Serie A side Chievo along with team-mate Giovanni Marchese and on 30 August sold to Torino's rival Juventus in co-ownership for a nominal fees of €1,000. He was immediately loaned back to Chievo and played 4 league matches.
Partially due to 2006 Italian football scandal, Juventus terminated all ongoing co-ownership deal in June 2006, and Mantovani was sold back to Chievo for about €301,000. He played 3 out of 4 European matches of Chievo, which exited in both UEFA Champions League 3rd qualifying round, and UEFA Cup first round.
