On 15 July 2010, after rejecting a new contract at Ponfe,[5] Mandi signed for Real Madrid Castilla also in the third division.[6] After again winning promotion to the second tier, he moved to Sporting de Gijón on 22 June 2012 after agreeing to a four-year deal.[7]
Mandi made his professional debut on 2 September 2012, starting in a 0–0 away draw against Racing de Santander.[8] He scored his first goal on 5 January of the following year, in a 1–1 draw at Recreativo de Huelva.[9]
On 31 August 2015, Mandi terminated his contract with Sporting[10] and signed for Elche CF just hours later.[11] On 8 July 2017, after suffering relegation with the latter, he agreed to a one-year deal at UD Almería.[12]
On 12 October 2018, Mandi signed with New Zealand club Wellington Phoenix FC.[13] He scored his first goal in the A-League on 24 November, with a long-range half-volley to open a 3–1 home loss against Adelaide United FC.[14]
