Career
Born in Ribeirão Preto, Bordon spent six years at Schalke between 2004 and July 2010,[1] having been acquired from Stuttgart on a €2.6 million deal. He formed a formidable defensive partnership with Serbian Mladen Krstajić, boasting formidable aerial ability and leadership that earned him the captain's armband from the 2006–07 season until the summer of 2010. On 5 July 2010, Bordon left Schalke[2] and signed for Al-Rayyan in Qatar three days later,[3] earning approximately €6.5 million per year before retiring once his contract expired.
Bordon briefly served as head coach of Rio Branco-SP in 2016.[4]
