Vieri was sold to Brescello in co-ownership deal for 30 million lire (€15,494) in 1999.[4] In 2000 Juventus bought back Vieri for undisclosed fee (his brother Christian had also previously played for the club during the 1996–97 Serie A season). Vieri was loaned to Ancona for 100 million lire (€51,646) in 2000–01 season[5] and again in 2001–02 season.[6] In 2002 Vieri joined Verona as part of the deal of Mauro Camoranesi.

In July 2003 Vieri left for S.S.C. Napoli for €500,000.[7] In June 2004 Juventus gave up the player's remaining 50% registration rights.[2][8]
After leaving Napoli in 2004, he later had a season-long spell with Ternana, followed by half-season spells with Triestina and Arezzo. In July 2007, he was signed by Lecco, after spending the previous season with Novara.[9][10] After a season at the club, he joined Prato in 2008. In July 2012, he was released by the club.[2][9]
