Dario Bonetti (born 5 August 1961 in San Zeno Naviglio, Brescia, Italy) is an Italian football manager and former defender. He is the elder brother of Ivano Bonetti.
Bonetti made his professional debut during the 1978–79 season with Brescia. He then moved to Roma in 1980, and played for the giallorossi until 1986, except for a one-season spell at Sampdoria during the 1982–83 season; during his time with Roma, he won three Coppa Italia titles. In 1986, he signed for Milan, but failed to impress and moved to Verona only one year later. In 1989, he transferred to Juventus, where he played two seasons, making 63 appearances and scoring 5 goals, winning a Coppa Italia and UEFA Cup double under manager Dino Zoff in 1990. A return to Sampdoria in 1991 was followed by a single season at SPAL in 1992, and retirement in 1993.
In all his whole playing career in the Serie A, Dario Bonetti was suspended for a total of 39 matches, this being as of 2009 an absolute record.
Bonetti made 2 appearances for the Italian national football team in 1986, making his debut on 8 October, in a 2–0 win over Greece.
A strong and tenacious defender, Bonetti was primarily known for his stamina, determination, physical attributes, and his man-marking ability. He was also notorious for his aggression on the pitch, however, which led him to pick up many cards, as well as his lack of pace and technical ability; in later years, he also struggled to adapt into the new zonal marking system which was implemented by manager Luigi Maifredi upon his arrival at Juventus in 1990.
