Martín Maximiliano Mantovani (born 7 July 1984) is an Argentine retired footballer who played as a centre-back.

Club career

Born in San Miguel, Corrientes, Mantovani played for local clubs as a youth, before joining Atlético Madrid in the 2006 summer. Initially assigned to the C-team, he went on to appear rarely with the reserves in the 2009–10 campaign, in Segunda División B.

On 10 August 2010, Mantovani moved to Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa, also in the third level.[1] He subsequently represented CD Atlético Baleares[2] and Real Oviedo,[3] being an undisputed starter in both sides.

In June 2013, Mantovani was loaned to CD Leganés in the same division.[4] He appeared in 39 matches during the season, as the Madrid side returned to Segunda División after a ten-year absence, and subsequently signed permanently on 30 June 2014.[5]

On 5 October 2014, aged 30, Mantovani played his first match as a professional, starting in a 2–0 home win against CD Tenerife.[6] He scored his first goal late in the month, netting his side's only in a 1–1 away draw against CD Numancia.[7]

Mantovani appeared in 38 matches and scored two goals during the 2015–16 campaign, captaining his side in its first-ever promotion to La Liga. He made his debut in the category on 22 August 2016, starting in a 1–0 away win against Celta de Vigo.[8]

After five seasons at Leganés, Mantovani left the team and signed a two-year contract with UD Las Palmas as a free agent.[9] In March 2019, he joined SD Huesca on loan until the end of the season.[10]

On 5 October 2020, Mantovani terminated his contract with the Canarians.[11]
