Masimiliano Doda (born 17 November 2000) is an Albanian professional footballer who plays as a right-back for Dukla Prague.

Club career

[edit]

A Sampdoria youth product, Doda was released from the Blucerchiati in 2019 without making a senior appearance.[2] He successively signed for then-Serie D club Palermo on a free transfer, being part of the Rosanero in their first season following the club bankruptcy of June 2019.

After playing 21 games in the 2019–20 Serie D season that was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Italy, he signed a three-year professional contract with Palermo in July 2020 following the club's promotion to Serie C.[3]

On 17 January 2023, after making no appearances for the Rosanero in the first half of the 2022–23 Serie B campaign, Doda was loaned out to Serie C side Imolese until the end of the season.[4] He returned to Palermo by the end of the season and was excluded from the first team for the remainder of his contract, only making some spare appearances for the Under-19 team before its expiration on 30 June 2024.

On 17 July 2024, Doda signed a one-year deal with Dukla Prague with a contract extension option.[5]

International career

[edit]

Doda is a youth international for Albania. He received his first call-up for the Albania U21 national team in June 2021.[6]

Personal life

[edit]

Doda is the son of an Albanian former football defender who successively relocated to Genoa for work with his family. He has a younger brother, Armelo, who was a youth player for Sampdoria.[2]
