Anthony Mandrea (Arabic: أنتوني ماندريا; born 25 December 1996) is a professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Ligue 2 club Caen. Born in France, he plays for the Algeria national team.

Club career

Mandrea made his Ligue 1 debut for Nice on 3 November 2013 in a 1–2 home defeat against Bordeaux, replacing an injured David Ospina after 51 minutes.[1] At 16 years and 10 months he was, at the time, the youngest goalkeeper to play in Ligue 1.[2] He made no further first team appearances for Nice, and in the summer of 2016 he moved to Angers, where he signed professional terms on a three-year deal in September 2017.[3] His Angers debut came in the Coupe de la Ligue on 12 December 2017 against Metz, in which he kept a clean sheet.[4]

In July 2020, as third-choice goalkeeper for Angers, he was loaned to SO Cholet in the Championnat National in search of playing time.[5] At the end of the season he was named best goalkeeper of the Championnat National season.[6]

On 23 June 2022, Mandrea moved to Caen on a two-year deal.[7]

Personal life

Mandrea was born in France to a French father and Algerian mother.[8] He made one appearance for the France U18s at the Tournoi de Limoges in 2013.[9]

He was called up to the senior Algeria national team in May 2022,[10] and made his debut in a 2–1 friendly win over Iran on 12 June 2022.
