Stéphane Porato (born 19 September 1973 in Colombes, Hauts-de-Seine) is a French retired footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
Football career
In his country, Porato represented Sporting Toulon, AS Monaco FC, Olympique de Marseille (where he played in the 1999 UEFA Cup Final after relegating Germany international Andreas Köpke to the bench), US Créteil-Lusitanos and AC Ajaccio, mainly as a backup or starting in the second division. On 13 November 1999, he earned his sole cap for France, appearing in a 3–0 friendly win with Croatia.
In late October 2006, as he had already moved to Spain with second level's Deportivo Alavés, following Ajaccio's relegation from Ligue 1, Porato had a trial at Chelsea in view of signing as third-choice after the long-term skull injury to Petr Čech, but was not signed eventually.[1]
Porato moved to Xerez CD, in the same country and category, for 2007–08. A starter in his first year, he lost the job in the following, as the Andalusians achieved a first-ever La Liga promotion, being released in July 2009.
