in the Serie B 2005–06 season. During the 2006–2007 Serie A season, Pantanelli held down his starting place, but at the conclusion to the season, Pantanelli was involved in a controversy with the management of the club. Catania Controversy At the end of the 2006–2007 season Pantanelli was involved in a feud with Catania, accusing the club of bullying him into quitting the club by excluding him from training sessions and keeping him and two other players at a separate hotel at away games. In September 2007 he was allegedly implicated in a betting scandal. An inquest has been opened into betting involving Pantanelli, according to newspaper ‘La Sicilia’. It is alleged that he placed bets on two games that ended with a negative result for Catania, supposedly due to mistakes made by Pantanelli. Later years As he was sent off the first team roster, Pantanelli had to find a new club where to play to. In summer 2007 he then joined Serie B club Avellino, but he did not manage to return to his highs, and the biancoverdi were ultimately relegated to Lega Pro Prima Divisione that year, but were eventually placed back in Serie B to fill the void left by the bankrupt Messina, who ultimately were relegated to Serie D. He was successively released for free by Avellino, and then signed by Lega Pro Prima Divisione club Paganese. Coaching career In 2011, he passed his category 2 coaching exam.
