Club career

Bayern Munich

Gaudino with Bayern Munich in 2014

Gaudino, is a youth product of the Bayern Munich Academy. He was promoted to the first team for the 2014–15 season after impressing Pep Guardiola.[2] On 13 August 2014, he made his first-team debut in the German Supercup, playing the full 90 minutes as Bayern lost 2–0 against Borussia Dortmund.[3][4] He made his league debut in the first match of the 2014–15 Bundesliga season as a starter against VfL Wolfsburg.[5] Bayern won the match 2–1,[6] and Gaudino became the fourth youngest debutant in the club's history.[7] Gaudino made his Champions League debut on 10 December 2014 in a 3–0 home win against CSKA Moscow.[8] For the 2015–16 season, he played for the reserve team[9] where he made 19 appearances.[10]

St. Gallen (loan)

Gaudino was loaned out to FC St. Gallen on 9 January 2016 until the end of the 2016–17 season.[11]

Chievo

In June 2017, Gaudino joined Serie A side Chievo Verona.[12] In August 2018, after having not been used frequently, Gaudino and the club agreed to mutually terminate his contract.

Young Boys

On 8 January 2019, Gaudino joined Swiss club Young Boys.[13] Young Boys won the league on 12 April after FC Basel dropped points against Grasshoppers. In the 2019–20 Swiss Super League season, Gaudino became a key player in the Young Boys' journey to winning the Swiss double by playing a total of 34 games and scoring five goals to push them in winning the Swiss League for the third straight time[14] and the Swiss Cup.[15][16]

SV Sandhausen

On 9 June 2021, Gaudino returned to Germany where he joined 2. Bundesliga club SV Sandhausen.[17] In Sandhausen, however, he failed to make an impact and was mainly a substitute. This was partly attributed to Gaudino being sidelined after being tested positive for COVID-19.[18]

Rheindorf Altach (loan)

On 31 January 2022, Gaudino moved to Austrian club Rheindorf Altach on loan until the end of the season.[19]

Lausanne-Sport

Gaudino joined Swiss Challenge League club Lausanne-Sport on 29 June 2022.[20] The move reunited him with his manager at Rheindorf Altach, Ludovic Magnin.[21]

SV Stripfing

On 3 February 2024, Gaudino moved to SV Stripfing in Austria.[22] He missed most of the games with ligaments injury.

Alemannia Aachen

On 27 June 2024, Gaudino signed with Alemannia Aachen in 3. Liga.[23]

Personal life

Gaudino was born in Hanau, Hesse, on 11 November 1996[1] and is the son of former German international midfielder Maurizio Gaudino.[24] He is eligible to play for either Germany or Italy due to his Italian paternal grandparents.
