Considered a good prospect for the future, Bottinelli managed to establish himself in the San Lorenzo first team during the 2006-07 season.
For the start of the 2007-08 season he was transferred to Racing.[2]
In early 2008, Bottinelli was transferred to Universidad Católica to compete in the Chilean apertura and the Copa Libertadores.[3]
Atlas of Mexico's Primera Division, signed Darío for the Apertura 2008 season, beating powerhouse Club América in the bid for his rights.
In the middle of 2010 Darío returned to Universidad Católica, this time on a one-year loan. But he only spent six months in Chile as Atlas negotiated his transfer to Flamengo.
On December 22, 2010, four days before his 24th birthday, Darío signed with Brazilian club Flamengo following the great success of Argentinian players in the Brazilian Série A such as Andrés D'Alessandro and Walter Montillo.[4][5]
In early 2013, Darío signed with Coritiba after ending his contract with Flamengo[6]
