Club career

Siena and loans

Born in Siena, Tuscany, Mannini started his career at Siena. In January 2011 he was signed by Internazionale along with national team team-mate Francesco Bardi (from Livorno),^[1][2] rejoining defenders Simone Benedetti and Felice Natalino, all of 2009 FIFA U-17 World Cup. However, he failed to play regularly in the Primavera under-20 team, in which the usual left-back was Cristiano Biraghi.

In June Inter did not exercise the option to sign him in the definitive deal, and in July he left for the newly relegated team Triestina.^[3] He made his debut against Novara in 2011–12 Coppa Italia, losing 0–4.^[4][5]

In 2012, he was signed by San Marino Calcio. On 29 August 2013 he left for Cosenza.^[6]

International career

Mannini started his international career with the Italy U-18 team in 2009–10 season. Despite not playing for Azzurrini in 2008–09 U-17 Euro final round, he was selected for 2009 FIFA U-17 World Cup (which was the extension of the 2008–09 U-17 season) and played his first U-17 game in round 2, replacing centre-back Vincenzo Camilleri at half-time. He was started the next two games, partnering with Michele Camporese, winning United States in the round of 16. However, he also cautioned for the second time, suspended for the quarter-finals. Azzurrini finished as the losing quarter-finalists. Despite a regular U-18 team (which he played in the 2010 Slovakia youth Cup),^[7] the feeder team of U-19, he was picked by U-19 coach Daniele Zoratto only twice in friendlies, although he received some call-up since August 2010.^[8] He started the first one and as a substitute for Emanuele Suagher in the second one.
