Club career[]
Born in Angola, Manzambi graduated with FC Basel's youth setup, after stints at FC La Chaux-de-Fonds and FC Xamax 2007. He made his Swiss Super League debut on 14 May 2017 in a 3–3 draw against FC Thun.[1]
In July 2018, Manzambi joined Spanish Segunda División side Sporting de Gijón on a trial basis.[2] On 7 August, he agreed to a one-year loan deal, with a buyout clause.[3]
On 30 January 2019, Sporting activated his buyout clause, with Manzambi signing a three-year contract and being immediately loaned to fellow second division side Córdoba CF until the end of the season.[4] He subsequently failed to establish himself at Sporting, and served loan stints at Valencia CF Mestalla and Mjällby AIF.[5]
On 6 July 2021, he returned to Switzerland and signed with Winterthur.[6]
