Player Profile
Doni is in the unenviable position of reserve, a position he also holds for his club side.
When Claudio Ranieri took over at Roma he was quick to install Doni’s countryman Julio Sergio as his number one, leaving him to spend a frustrating season on the bench.
As a result, Roma are rumored to be keen to sell him and he has been linked to Arsenal. Born in Sao Paulo, he played for Brazilian powerhouses Corinthians, Santos and Cruzeiro before moving to Italy and signing for the Giallorossi.
National coach Dunga remained loyal to Doni after handing him his debut in 2007. His finest hour internationally came at the 2007 Copa America.
A surprise selection ahead of Helton, he started the first match against Mexico and went on to make a series of crucial saves throughout the tournament, which Brazil won with a 3-0 win over Argentina in the final.
At Roma, he won back-to-back Coppa Italia trophies in 2007 and 2008 to add to the Brazilian Cup he lifted in 2002 with Corinthians.
