Career

Doardo played professionally for several teams in his native Italy, including Torino and Hellas Verona, with whom he played in Serie A before dropping down the leagues during his later career.[1]

During the mid-1990s and whilst under the management Cesare Maldini, Doardo represented Italy Under-21s on seven occasions.

Coaching career

In May 2011 Doardo linked-up with fellow Italian, Paolo Di Canio, to act as goalkeeper coach for Swindon Town. First team goalkeeper Wes Foderingham has since paid tribute to Doardo after making significant progress since joining the club from Crystal Palace.[2]

Doardo then followed Paolo di Canio to sunderland and became head goalkeeping coach
