Bertrand Mani (born 25 May 1997) is a Cameroonian football player who plays as a forward for Gandzasar Kapan.

Career

Playing for AS Fortuna and Colombe Sportive in the Cameroonian Elite One, Mani was selected for the 2020 African Nations Championship (postponed to 2021) and played three matches. [1] In the 2022 Elite One, Mani reportedly became top goalscorer with 20 goals. [2] Camfoot noted that Enow Nkembe scored as many goals, and thus it was "surprising" that Mani received the accolade at the Cameroon Football Federation Awards. [3] Most notably, Mani scored 5 goals in an 8–2 victory over Fauve Azur. [4]

Mani was discovered by South African club Cape Town City, who was on the lookout for a "number nine" to replace Kermit Erasmus. [2] He was announced as a new signing in November 2022 and would join after the World Cup in December. [5] Then, Mani scored on his South African Premier Division debut against Royal AM. [6] In January 2023 he received a man-of-the-match award against Chippa United. [7] However, his debut goal would remain his only goal for Cape Town City, and the club decided they would no longer prioritize to have Mani on the foreign player quota. An option to prolong his contract was not exercised. [8]

In September 2023 it was announced that Mani joined Ararat Yerevan of the Armenian Premier League. [9] On 31 May 2024, Ararat announced that Mani was one of six players to leave the club. [10]
