Roberto Bordin (born 10 January 1965) is a retired Italian footballer, who played as a midfielder.

Career

Bordin began his career in the lower leagues, playing for Sanremese, Taranto and Parma before joining Cesena, with whom he won promotion to Serie A in 1987. He later played for Atalanta, Napoli and Piacenza in Serie A before moving to the lower leagues to join Triestina. He spent the later years of his career at Spezia, except for a season with Vicenza.

Adept in midfield or defence, he became noted for his longevity as a professional footballer. He finished his career with Spezia in 2005.

Since then, he started a career in management, serving as Andrea Mandorlini's assistant during his spells at Bologna, Padova, Siena, Sassuolo, CFR Cluj and, most recently, Verona.

On 8 March 2016, he became the manager of Triestina. On 5 October 2016, he became the manager of Sheriff Tiraspol in Moldova's National Division.

On 8 June 2018, Bordin was announced as Neftchi Baku's new manager on a two-year contract.[1] On 18 of January 2020 the club announced the end of the contract.[2]

On 12 February 2021, he was announced as the new manager of the Moldova national football team.[3] He oversaw Moldova during 2022 World Cup qualification, in which Moldova suffered its worst defeat ever, a 0-8 loss to Denmark. Bordin left the position after his contract expired on 30 November 2021.[4]

On 9 January 2023, Sheriff Tiraspol announced the return of Bordin.[5] Following Sheriff's 6-0 defeat to Slavia Prague in the UEFA Europa League, Bordin was fired as the club's head coach.[6]

On 5 February 2024, Bordin returned to work at Triestina, agreeing to guide the Serie C club until 30 June 2024 with an automatic extension in case of promotion to Serie B.[7] After a lacklustre end of season, Triestina announced they would not extend Bordin's short-term contract with the club.[8]

On 11 July 2024 Bordin signs with AF Elbasani in his first experience on Albanian football.
