Idrissa Mandiang

Idrissa Mandiang Soumaré (born 27 December 1984), commonly known as Idris, is a Senegalese professional footballer who most recently played as a defensive midfielder for Swiss 2.

Born in Dakar, Senegal, Mandiang began his professional football career considerably late at the age of 20 for lower league Spanish side Bellavista Milan in 2005.

After half a season with the Spanish side, Mandiang moved west to Portugal to represent Águeda of the Terceira Divisão.

[1][2] His successful spell with Sertanense saw many clubs interested in his acquisition, which prompted Segunda Liga side Covilhã to sign the player.

His season at Arouca proved to be his most successful so far, as he managed to make 35 appearances and help his side reach the quarter-finals of the Taça de Portugal for the first time in their history and claim an historic first promotion to the Primeira Liga.
