  ## Career
  
  Bettagno started his career with Seraing, the club his father supported, and was one of a few youth graduates from the club. After relegation to the Belgian second division, he stayed with the team on his father's wishes despite offers from the top division. In 1988, he signed for Bruges for twelve million francs, which saved Seraing from bankruptcy. However, his career was blighted by injuries, including one in the 1993 Belgian Cup final, which caused him to miss the 1994 World Cup.
