Federico Andrés Mancuello (born 26 March 1989) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as central midfielder for Argentine Primera División club Independiente.

Club career

[edit]

Early years

[edit]

Mancuello made his league debut for Independiente in a 1–2 home defeat by Arsenal de Sarandí on 14 December 2008. He scored his first goal for the club in a 5–1 away defeat to Lanús on 5 April 2009. He scored again on 11 April in a 2–1 win over Huracán.

Loan to Belgrano

[edit]

After not being considered by Independiente's coach Antonio Mohamed in July 2011 Mancuello was loaned to Club Atlético Belgrano for one year.[1] On 26 October he scored his first and only goal in a 1–0 victory against Tigre.[2] In January 2012 Mancuello suffered an injury in a match of the Copa Argentina which kept him out of the fields for several weeks when he was being a key player of his team.[3]

Return to Independiente

[edit]

For the 2012 Torneo Clausura, Mancuello returned to Independiente. His only goal that season came in a 2-1 victory against Liverpool in Uruguay, where he scored the equaliser.[4] However, the club was relegated for the first time in his first season back.

Independiente were soon promoted back to the Primera División after only one season in the Nacional B where they finished third and Mancuello scored two goals. On 31 August 2014, Independiente faced their rivals Racing Club, but Mancuello scored to help Independiente to a 2-1 victory, saying it was "the most important goal of my career".[5] After scoring 10 goals in 19 games in the 2014 season, Argentina manager Gerardo Martino stated that he would keep Mancuello in mind for future call-ups.[6]

Flamengo

[edit]

2016 season

[edit]

On January 6, 2016, Mancuello was signed by Brazilian club Flamengo for a fee of R$12 million.[7] In the first half of the season Mancuello didn't perform as expected due to some injuries, playing all of his 12 matches as a starter and scoring 3 goals. As the 2016 Série A started he lost his status of starter, but established himself as of the most important substitutes of the team.

On 6 August 2016 Mancuello scored his first Série A goal in a 1–0 win against Atlético Paranaense in Kléber Andrade Stadium, the game-winner goal was scored in a beautiful back heel flick.[8] On 28 August 2016, against Chapecoense, he substituted Éverton on the 62nd minute and scored his second Série A in the injury time, Flamengo won the match 3–1 at Arena Condá.[9] His third Série A goal was, once again, a game-winner, this time against Cruzeiro in a beautiful placed shot in the 87th minute.[10] In his first season at Flamengo, Mancuello made 36 appearances and scored five goals in all competitions.

International career

[edit]

On March 20, 2015, Mancuello was called up by Argentine coach Gerardo Martino for the friendly matches against El Salvador on March 28 and Ecuador on March 31, 2015.[11] He made his debut against El Salvador at Fedex Field, replacing Ángel Di María in the second half and scoring a debut goal from a free kick at the end of the match.[12][13] In May, he was selected for the preliminary squad for the 2015 Copa América[14] but he wasn't considered for the definitive draft.[15]
