Playing career

Known simply as Xabier during his playing days, he was born in Pasaia, Gipuzkoa, Basque Country, and was a Deportivo Alavés youth graduate. He was promoted to the first team ahead of the 1993–94 campaign, in Segunda División B. [1]

In 1995, despite being a backup option, Xabier signed for Segunda División side RCD Mallorca. [1] He made his professional debut on 3 September of that year, starting in a 2–0 away win against CA Osasuna. [2]

Xabier achieved promotion with Mallorca in 1997, playing two matches during the season. In the subsequent La Liga campaign, he was only a third-choice, and after failing to appear in a single minute, he retired at the age of only 28. [1]

Coaching career

Immediately after retiring, Mancisidor joined Real Sociedad's backroom staff. Initially a goalkeeping coach of the youth setup, he was later promoted to the first team and spent 11 seasons at the club. [3]

Mancisidor was appointed goalkeeping coach at Manuel Pellegrini's staff at Real Madrid on 2 June 2009. On 3 January 2011, he was named on Pellegrini's staff at Málaga CF, with the same role. [4]

On 14 June 2013, Mancisidor again followed Pellegrini to Manchester City. [5] After the manager's dismissal, he remained at the club.
