Antonio Manuel Moñino "Manu" Pedreño (born 9 October 2000) is a Spanish footballer who plays as a defender for Slovenian PrvaLiga club NK Olimpija Ljubljana.

Career

[edit]

Born in the village of Garres y Lages in Murcia, Pedreño went from Ranero CF to the youth ranks of UCAM Murcia CF and UD Almería, where he began playing senior football in their reserve team in the Segunda División B and Tercera División. In July 2021, he signed for Antequera CF of the new fourth-tier Segunda Federación.[1]

In January 2022, after 16 games and one goal for Antequera, Pedreño moved to Real Murcia in the same league for the remainder of the season.[2] Though considered by some fans to be an unnecessary addition, he became a regular part of the side that won promotion to the Primera Federación.[3]

In June 2023, with Pedreño having lost his starting place at Murcia, he was tracked by Hércules CF who needed to free up an under-23 slot for his signing.[4] He left in August for SD Tarazona, also in the third tier.[5]

Pedreño moved abroad for the first time in his career in July 2024, signing for NK Olimpija Ljubljana under compatriot manager Víctor Sánchez.[6] He made his debut in the Slovenian PrvaLiga on 25 August in the 1–1 draw with NK Maribor in the Eternal derby, being substituted for Jorge Silva at half time.[7][8]
