Emmanuel Dorado Rodríguez (born 28 March 1973) is a French retired footballer who played as a central defender, and the current coach of Sainte-Geneviève Sports.
He has played for many European clubs such as PSG, Angers SCO, UD Almería, Málaga CF, and Córdoba CF.
Dorado was at the centre of an unpaid wages controversy while at Livingston following the side's relegation from the Scottish Premier League. The Scottish Football League imposed a transfer embargo on Livingston due to their failure to settle Dorado's contract. Livingston now argue that they have settled the contract and that the embargo should be lifted. He contributed to their victorious 2003–04 Scottish League Cup campaign, including playing the full 90 minutes as they beat Hibernian in the 2004 Scottish League Cup Final.[1]
The embargo was lifted from Livingston on the introduction of a new board of Italians, who paid the overdue wages.[2]
