Senderos is a product of the youth team setup at Swiss club Servette. He played for the first team there from 2001-2003 before signing with Arsenal. He spent the 2008-09 season on loan at AC Milan.

The defender had a few options for international football due to having a Spanish father and a Serbian mother, but played for Switzerland from Under15 upwards and captained the side for the Under17 UEFA Championship in 2002. On 26 March 2005 he made his full international debut for Switzerland against France. He was named in the 2006 World Cup squad and participated in the Euro 2008 finals.
