Club career
Soldo was raised in Milan, where he played in the youth teams of Folgore before moving to Novara, where he played for the first time in Serie B in 1960-61. He then moved to Varese, contributing to their promotion in Serie A in 1963-64. With Varese he played another two seasons in Serie A.
In 1966 he moved to Inter, with which he played the 1966-67 European Cup scoring a goal in the second round against Vasas Budapest.[1] Not being considered much by Inter's manager Helenio Herrera he was never used in the league, and on November 1967 he moved to Lazio in Serie B. There he contributed again to their promotion in 1968-69. An injury to his knee made his further career unnoticeable in minor series until 1974.
Soldo scored a total of 67 appearances and 2 goals in Serie A and 86 appearances and 2 goals in Serie B.
Manager career
He then moved to a manager career. Among his most notable appearances, he gained a promotion in Serie C1 in 1988-89 with Fidelis Andria and a win of the asiatic championship with the Iranian Under-16 national team.
