Cordaz started his career at Internazionale. In 2001-02 season, he was the regular starter ahead Mathieu Moreau for the regular choice at Primavera Team (U-20 team), where he won the champion.
When he turned 19, he was farmed to Spezia of Serie C1 from Inter's U-20 team, He played as the backup of Hugo Daniel Rubini.
In summer 2003, he returned to Internazionale as first team 3rd goalkeeper, while his ex-competitor Moreau farmed to Spezia. Cordaz made his first team debut against Juventus F.C. on 4 February 2004 a Coppa Italia match resulted in 2-2 draw.
He left for Spezia of Serie C1 again in January 2005.[1] He won Coppa Italia Serie C along with Inter youth products Riccardo Meggiorini and Hernán Paolo Dellafiore, which they were all left on loan in January 2005.
He spent 2005/06 season at Acireale of Serie C1 along with Devis Nossa and Fabrizio Biava.[2] He was the first choice of the team, however, he missed the relegation playoff and Simone Deliperi was played. Acireale relegated after losing the playoffs.
On 31 August 2006, the last day of transfer windows, Cordaz was sold to newly relegated Treviso F.B.C. 1993 in a joint-ownership bid, for a peppercorn fee of €500.[3] But he spent the first half of the season on loan at Pizzighettone of Serie C1.[4] During 2008–09 season Cordaz (€800,000) and Daniel Maa Boumsong (€250,000) were joined Treviso outright. Along with Gianluca Litteri (€50,000) and Daniele Pedrelli (€275,000), the deals was part of a mega-player swap with Treviso which compensated Treviso for the January 2008 signing of Riccardo Bocalon and Jacopo Fortunato (both undisclosed), and Leonardo Bonucci returned to Inter for €700,000 in June 2008.[5] Cordaz himself made Inter had a financial income of €799,500 as the value of retained half was increased from €500 to €800,000 in accounting.
After Treviso disbanded due to financial issues, Cordaz found himself without a team, and later agreed for a move to Switzerland by joining Challenge League outfit FC Lugano on a free transfer.[6]
