Antônio Monfrini Neto (born 23 June 1950), better known as Manfrini, is a Brazilian former professional footballer who played as a midfielder.

Career

Born in the Mooca neighborhood, São Paulo, Manfrini began his career in the amateurs at CA Parque da Mooca. As a professional, he began his career at Ponte Preta, a club he played for from 1967 to 1972. He had a brief spell at Palmeiras, without being able to establish himself,[1] and in 1973 he joined Fluminense, where he won the Rio de Janeiro championship in 1973 and 1975. He also played for Botafogo, Ituano and Moto Club.[2] Although his surname was called "Monfrini", a graphic error in the documentation transformed him into Manfrini, which became his nickname in football circles.[3]
