He is best known for his time with Bundesliga sides VfB Stuttgart and Schalke 04, as well as being part of the 2004 Copa América-winning Brazil squad.

His son, Filipe Bordon, plays in the same position as him for FC Südtirol, on loan from Lazio.

Career

Born in Ribeirão Preto, Bordon spent six years at Schalke between 2004 and July 2010, 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 and signed for Al-Rayyan in Qatar three days later, 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.
