Career

He joined Ambrosiana-Inter, Milan's rivals, in the Serie A, scoring four goals in 29 games in his two seasons at the club.
He was sold to [U.S. U.S. Alessandria Calcio 1912|Alessandria Calcio 1912|Alessandria] in 1936 where, despite being relegated to the Serie B, Vecchi remained at the club. Alessandria failed to gain promotion, and Vecchi moved to Fiorentina in 1938, who had just been relegated from the Serie A. Vecchi then played for Atalanta, Mantova, and Cavese, before being forced to fight in the ongoing World War II. He returned to play for Mantova ahead of the 1946–47 season, where he retired.

Vecchi was a forward with good technique, capable of playing both as a centre-forward and as a wide midfielder, though his main position was that of a winger.
