Donieber Alexander Marangon (born 22 October 1979 in Jundiaí), or Doni as he is more frequently known, is a Brazilian football goalkeeper who currently plays for A.S. Roma of Italian Serie A. He joined AS Roma moving from Brazilian team Juventude on August 31, 2005, which was the last day of the transfer window in the 05/06 season.
The arrival of Doni at Roma continued a trend which has recently began in Serie A - more and more clubs are dropping Italian goalkeepers and opting for Brazilian ones instead, following the steps of AC Milan's Dida and Inter Milan's Júlio César.
At first Doni found his way into first team action blocked by Italian U-21 international Gianluca Curci and was restricted to UEFA Cup games. However, after impressing in cup competition, he replaced Curci in goal for league games and it is now Curci who is forced to play solely in cup competitions. Doni's contract with AS Roma runs out at the end of the season.
