Doudou Diaw (born 30 October 1975), also known as Diaw Doudou or just Doudou, is a Senegalese football coach and former professional footballer and manager.[1] He is the head coach of Eccellenza Apulia amateurs Corato.
Doudou spent his entire football career in Italy, joining Serie B club Perugia in 1997. After several experiences in the minor leagues, he signed for Serie B club Ancona in 2000, where he was noted by Bari, who signed him a year later.
After four years with Bari, in 2005 he signed with then-Serie B side Torino, and made his Serie A debut with the Granata a year later. He ended his career in 2014 after a number of seasons in the minor leagues of Italy.
Doudou started his coaching career in 2014 working with a football school in Bari, his city of residence. In 2017 he was hired by Serie D club Gravina as their new assistant coach,[2] and successively promoted head coach by January 2018.[3]
In July 2019, shortly after obtaining a UEFA A coaching licence,[4] he was hired by his former club Bari as a youth coach, being in charge of the Under-15 side in his first season.[5] He was successively made in charge of the Under-17 a year later,[6] and the Under-19 Berretti side in March 2021.[7] He was substituted by Valeriano Loseto in May 2021.[8]
On 14 July 2022, Doudou was appointed in charge of the Under-19 team of Fidelis Andria.[9]
On 1 November 2022, he was appointed in charge of the first team on an interim basis following the dismissal of head coach Mirko Cudini.[10] On 17 November 2022 he was formally confirmed as permanent head coach.[11] He was sacked on 17 January 2023, leaving Fidelis Andria at the bottom of the Serie C league.[12]
On 24 October 2023, Doudou was hired as the new head coach of Eccellenza Apulia amateurs Corato.[13]
Doudou, a practicing Muslim, has been married since 2005 to a Catholic Italian woman from Bari, with whom he has two children (a son and a daughter).[14] [15]
