Dorival Guidoni Júnior (born 28 May 1972), known simply asDoriva, is a Brazilian football coach and retiredfootballer who played as acentral midfielder.
From 2003 until 2006, he played for EnglishPremier League clubMiddlesbrough, winning the2004 League Cup and finishing as runner-up in the2005–06 UEFA Cup. He retired due to a misdiagnosed heart condition while playing for Brazilian clubAmérica-SP in 2007.
Doriva played for theBrazil national football team between 1995 and 1998, making a brief substitute appearance in the1998 FIFA World Cup in which Brazil finished as runners-up.
Doriva began his career at the youth ofSão Paulo, and after spending 1992 atGoiás teamsAnapolina andGoiânia, was promoted to the main team under coachTelê Santana in 1993. That same year he won both theLibertadores da América and theIntercontinental Cup. In 1995, he was transferred toXV de Piracicaba after having his rights purchased by then-ownerRolim Amaro, founder ofTAM Airlines.[1]
Doriva came toAtlético Mineiro in 1995, as the team had just gotten a sponsorship deal with TAM. There Doriva had what he considered crucial years in his formation as a player, leading to a $4 million sale toPorto.[2]
Doriva's career in Porto had threePrimeira Liga titles before he opted to transfer to Italy'sSampdoria, in an $8 million four-year contract.[3][4] In 2000, he went to Spain, playing forCelta Vigo.[5]
Doriva was signed byMiddlesbrough managerSteve McClaren in January 2003, on loan until the end ofthe season.[6] He made his debut on 5 April 2003 in a 3–0 home win overWest Bromwich Albion.[7]
After five appearances for the club, Doriva was given a one-year contract with Middlesbrough on 21 July 2003.[8] In his first full season at the club, Doriva was first choice in midfield alongsideGeorge Boateng. He found his chances limited after this, however, due to the emergence ofStewart Downing and the conversion ofBoudewijn Zenden to central midfield. On 11 February 2004, in a 3–2 win overManchester United atOld Trafford, Doriva was pushed byPaul Scholes, who in April was given a three-match ban for the incident.[9] On 29 February he started as Middlesbrough won their first major trophy, the2004 Football League Cup Final, with a 2–1 win overBolton Wanderers in theMillennium Stadium inCardiff.[10] His only goal for Middlesbrough came in a 2–1 victory atNotts County in the third round of theFA Cup on 8 January 2005.[11]
In 2005, he earned a one-year contract extension, which Middlesbrough allowed to expire in July 2006.
Following his release from Middlesbrough, he then signed forAmérica-SP in Brazil, where he had a heart problem detected. Doriva's father and grandfather both died from heart conditions, and therefore he decided to retire from playing.[12] Subsequent tests showed that the diagnosis was inaccurate and he could have continued playing, although he remained retired.
After retiring in 2009, Doriva was hired byItuano's president and former teammateJuninho; initially a manager of the youth team, he subsequently became an assistant manager and, in 2014, was appointed as coach.[13] He led Ituano to aCinderella run in theCampeonato Paulista, winning the title on penalty kicks overSantos.[14]
Doriva was appointedAtlético Paranaense manager on 16 June 2014,[15] but failed to impress, being sacked only two months later.[16]
On 14 December 2014, Doriva was appointed as manager ofVasco da Gama.[17] The following 4 August, after another state league title, he was named at the helm ofPonte Preta;[18] on 7 October, however, he rescinded with the latter and moved toSão Paulo.[19] He lasted only a month with the team from the state capital, winning two and losing two league games, and being eliminated 3–1 on aggregate from the Copa do Brasil by rivals Santos.[20]
Bahia signed Doriva for the year 2016.[21] Despite a 69% winning rate with the Série B club, he was dismissed on 19 June after a first defeat of the season againstLondrina.[22] He then had two months in charge ofSanta Cruz in the same season, resigning on 20 October as their relegation looked imminent.[23]
In 2017, Doriva had ten games in charge ofAtlético Goianiense before losing his job on 21 July; he recorded only one win and two draws.[24] He was then appointed asNovorizontino's manager for the2018 Campeonato Paulista.[25] His team reached the quarter-finals before an 8–0 aggregate loss toPalmeiras.[26]
In June 2018, Doriva was appointed coach ofCRB.[27] He left the club in September, to be replaced byRoberto Fernandes.[28]
Doriva was hired byCriciúma of theCampeonato Catarinense at the start of 2019, and was fired on 5 March when the team were in 6th place.[29] Two weeks later, he was appointed atSão Bento, who were preparing for a season in the national second division.[30] He was dismissed on 29 August, having won 5 of 19 games in the first half of the campaign.[31]
On 23 May 2021, it was announced thatSylvinho would beCorinthians' new manager and Doriva would be his assistant.[32][33]
Doriva's first cap for theBrazil national football team was in 1995.[34] He was part of the Brazil squad which reached the final of the1998 FIFA World Cup.[35] He wore the number 17 shirt and made one appearance, in the second match of the group. He came on againstMorocco inNantes as a 68th-minute substitute forCésar Sampaio.[36] He played a total of 12 games for the Brazilian squad.[37]
