Bruno Bertucci (born 27 April 1990) is a Brazilian footballer who plays for Veria as a left back.
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.
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. 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. 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 Turikish Süper Lig side Eskişehirspor in a season-long loan deal. However, he was again not used, and moved to Bragantino in January 2011.
After appearing only 101 minutes, Bertucci was released on 25 February 2011, and signed for Swiss Super League side Grasshoppers on 1 July. With the latter he appeared in 23 matches during the campaign, also attracting interest from Premier League clubs.
