About

Filippo Calixte Mane (born 8 March 2005) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a defender for Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund and the Italy national team.

Mane started playing football at the age of four.

As a youth player, Mane joined the youth academy of Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund, where he captained the team.
On 6 January 2025, he signed a three-and-a-half-year professional contract with Borussia. However, recurring injuries sidelined him for most of the 2024–25 season. Mane eventually made his senior debut on 18 August in a 1–0 away victory over Rot-Weiss Essen in the DFB-Pokal. Five days later, on 23 August, he featured in his first Bundesliga match, where he conceded a penalty and was sent off with a straight red card following a VAR review in a 3–3 away draw against St. Pauli in the league opener.

Mane is an Italian youth international. In May 2026, he was one of the players who were called up with the Italy national senior squad by interim head coach Silvio Baldini, for the friendly matches against Luxembourg and Greece on 3 and 7 June 2026, respectively.
