Club career

Atletico Elmas and Atletico Calcio

Born in Cagliari, Sardinia, Mancosu played in the youth team of the Scuola Calcio Johannes[2] of Cagliari, and while he was not able to pass any of several trials with Cagliari, the main Sardinian football team, he managed to break into the squad of the Atletico Elmas in Serie D.[1] Mancosu played 4 seasons in Serie D with Atletico Elmas, which was renamed Atletico Calcio in 2002, scoring 7 goals in 73 matches.[3]

Nuorese

Mancosu moved down in Eccellenza in November 2004, to play with Nuorese. In his first year he contributed to the promotion of the Sardinian club scoring 14 goals in 31 matches.[3] He also played for Nuorese in Serie D the next season, scoring 6 goals in 23 matches.[3]

Villacidrese

Mancosu moved to another Sardinian team in 2006. He will play the next 4 seasons for Villacidrese. In his first 3 seasons there, in 91 matches in Serie D Mancosu scored 43 goals, 18 of whose while leading them to promotion in 2008–2009.[3] Mancosu played the fourth and final season for Villacidrese in Seconda Divisione, scoring 7 goals in 22 matches.[3]

Mancosu moved to his first team outside Sardinia only in 2010–2011, at the age of 25. He played for one season for Latina in Seconda Divisione, scoring just 5 goals in 20 matches.[3]

Specifically selected to improve a squad that had been very close to the promotion the previous year, Mancosu lead the Sicilian side to a historic first promotion in Serie B scoring 15 times in 29 matches.[3] Mancosu has been leading the forward line of Trapani also in Serie B in the 2013–2014 season, scoring 19 goals in the first 27 matches, the record for a rookie.[4]
