Career

Internazionale

Cordaz started his career at Inter Milan. In the 2001–02 season, he was the regular starter ahead Mathieu Moreau for the regular choice at Primavera Team (U20 team), where he won the champion.

When he turned 19, he was farmed to Spezia of Serie C1. 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 the 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.

Treviso

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 ca. January 2009) was joined Treviso outright. In January 2009 also saw he return of Gianluca Litteri (€50,000) and signing Samuele Longo and Mame Baba Thiam outright, made the deal involved little cash. 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.[5]

Lugano

After Treviso disbanded due to financial issues, Cordaz found himself without a team, and later agreed for a move to Switzerland by joining Swiss Challenge League outfit FC Lugano on a free transfer.[6]

Cittadella

On 5 July 2011 he returned to Serie B for Cittadella,[7] replacing former Inter team-mate Simone Villanova.

Parma

In June 2013 Cordaz was signed by Parma F.C. on free transfer. On 1 July 2013[8] Cordaz was farmed to Slovenian club ND Gorica along with Bright Addae, Daniele Bazzoffia, Uroš Celcer, Massimo Coda, Sebestyén Ihrig-Farkas, Alen Jogan, Gianluca Lapadula, Floriano Vanzo and Fabio Lebran (Crotone/Parma). The deals were finalized on 12 July.[9]

In the first half of 2014–15 season he failed to seek a new club, thus he became a backup keeper for Parma, despite wearing no.1 shirt. On 9 January 2015 Cordaz left for F.C. Crotone, with Pavol Bajza returned to Parma. [10] Cordaz also wore no.1 shirt left by Bajza.[11]
