Club career

At club level Vignotto represented numerous different clubs in Serie A. In 1986 she told la Repubblica: "So far I've changed teams ten times. But it's not that I'm capricious. The teams broke up."[1] According to the Dizionario del Calcio Italiano, she scored 467 goals in 461 Serie A appearances.[2]

She was the chairman (Italian: presidente, lit.'president') of A.S.D. Reggiana Calcio Femminile (and later A.S.D. Sassuolo Calcio Femminile).
