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.
On 26 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]
