Tedeschi started his career at Bologna. He was a member of the under-17 youth team in 2003–04 season, which plays in the "Allievi Nazionali", a national youth league .[4] He made his Serie A debut on 10 November 2004, in a 2–2 away draw against Internazionale.[5]
He was sent on loan to Serie C1 side Cremonese during the 2006–07 season. He played 30 games in the league as well as 2 additional games in the Italian cup.[6] He also played at least once in the Coppa Italia Serie C [it].[7]
In mid-2007, Tedeschi was bought by Treviso on a co-ownership deal, for €700,000 fee, with Dino Fava moved to opposite direction also on a co-ownership deal, for €900,000 fee.[8][9] After making no appearances during the first half of the season, he was sent out to Spezia on loan. On 31 August 2008 he left for Ternana.[10] In June 2009 Treviso signed Tedeschi outright for another €1,000 fee, while Massimo Coda moved to opposite direction for another €100,000,[11][12] who was bought in 2008 in exchange for Fava. However, Tedeschi became a free agent after Treviso bankrupted in the same transfer window.

Tedeschi left for Crotone on a temporary deal with an option to sign half of the player's registration rights. Crotone excised the rights in July 2011 for €500,[15] and in June 2012, Parma bought back Tedeschi once again, for an undisclosed fee. He was awarded the number 56 shirt,[16] before he left for Cremonese again on 9 August 2012.[17] Parma also subsidized €90,000 to Cremonese as premi di valorizzazione.[18]
