Born in Terni, Italy, Grandoni started his career with hometown club Ternana, then joining Lazio in 1995, and making his Serie A debut one year later. Since then he played at Serie A and Serie B level with a number of teams, including Sampdoria, Torino, Modena, Livorno and Gallipoli. In 2010, he agreed to join Greek Superleague club Olympiakos Volos, but he successively left the club a few days later by mutual consent.[1]
Grandoni was also part of the Italy Olympic team that won the gold medal at the 1997 Mediterranean Games football tournament; he also took part at the 2000 Summer Olympics.
After retiring as a player, Grandoni started a career as a coach. He served as youth coach of ACF Fiorentina (Giovanissimi Nazionali) between 2014 and 2016, and successively as youth coach of the Primavera team of Pisa.
In November 2017 he accepted an offer as head coach of Tuscan Serie D club Scandicci,[2] which he led to avoid relegation by the end of the season.[3] He subsequently joined another Serie D club, Savona, in June 2018.[4] He left Savona at the end of the 2018–19 season.
