Giovani Daniel Casillas Chávez (born 4 January 1994) is a former Mexican professional footballer who last played as a midfielder for Real Zamora. Casillas won the U17 World Cup in Mexico 2011.[1]
Growing up in the Club Deportivo Guadalajara youth system, Giovani Casillas made his first team debut during the 2011 World Football Challenge in a friendly against FC Barcelona, where he scored the third goal in a 4–1 win. He made his professional debut at the age of 17 on August 6, 2011, in a 0-0 Pumas-Chivas, entering in the 82nd minute for Jesús Sánchez.[2] However, a knee injury sidelined him for the rest of the season. In 2012, he rejoined the first team, and made six appearances, including two as a starter. He also appeared in four Copa Libertadores 2012 matches.
On February 21, 2013, sister club Chivas USA announced they had acquired Giovani Casillas and teammates Mario de Luna and Edgar Mejia on loan from CD Guadalajara.[3] He scored his first professional goal against FC Dallas on March 10, 2013, in a 3–1 win. The goal came in stoppage time in the 93rd minute on an assist from fellow Guadalajara loanee Edgar Mejia.
Casillas was a member of the Mexico U17 side that won the 2011 FIFA U-17 World Cup.
