Leandro Mamut

Leandro Juan Hugo Mamut is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Gimnasia La Plata.

Career

Mamut began his career at the age of four with Club Las Malvinas, prior to his departure to Asociación Deportiva Anunciación de Fútbol Infantil in 2013. Three years later, Mamut headed to Gimnasia y Esgrima. He signed his first professional contract on 27 January 2020; aged sixteen. Mamut, who'd appear non-competitively in the intervening period, made the jump into senior football just over twelve months later on 19 February 2021, as he appeared on the bench for a Copa de la Liga Profesional match against Talleres. His debut soon arrived, as he came on to replace Matías Miranda in stoppage time of a 3–0 win.

Mamut comes from a family of amateur boxers, with him being the only one of eight siblings to choose football at a young age. His father died in a motorcycle accident on 11 March 2014.
