Dainelli strarted his professional career at Empoli F.C..

He spent early years on Modena (Serie C1), Cavese (Serie C2) and Fidelis Andria (Serie C1).

He made his Serie A debut against A.S. Roma on 18 February 2001.

After just one season at Lecce, he was signed by Brescia.

Except the first season whom he just made 5 appearances and left on loan to Serie A rival Verona, he made 56 appearances more for Brescia.

In summer 2004 he was signed by newly promoted team Fiorentina, by buying half of the registration rights from Brescia, but on January 2005, Fiorentina immediately bought all of the rights.

He was the team captain after Christian Riganò left the club on summer 2005.

At the end of 2006-07 season, due to Dainelli contract will expire on summer, some rumor linked him with Juventus and other Italian clubs, but on 9 June 2007, he finally signed a new 4 years contract with Fiorentina.

He made his debut for the national side against Ecuador on 11 June 2005, the friendly match end as 1-1 draw.

He was recalled by new Italian head coach Roberto Donadoni to play in Euro 2008 qualifying against Lithuania and France on 2 September 2006 and 6 September 2006, but did not enter the field.
