Amani Manuel Santos Aguinaldo (born April 24, 1995) is a Filipino professional footballer who plays as a center-back for Malaysia Super League club Melaka and the Philippines national team.[1][2]

Education

Aguinaldo attended Ateneo de Davao Grade School until grade 6 and transferred to the High School Department Far Eastern University's FERN College in Quezon City where he attended high school.[3] Aguinaldo is taking Sports Science at the University of the Philippines Diliman. As of December 2014, he is on his second year.[4]

Club career

After Aguinaldo was scouted by Coach Kim Chul-soo and program director Vince Santos both from Far Eastern University, which prompted him to transfer to Far Eastern University – FERN College where he attended high school. He played a year with the Far Eastern University at the college level before moving to the University of the Philippines.[3]

He was later signed with the Loyola Meralco Sparks where he debuted as a substitute player at Loyala's stint at the 2012 Singapore Cup. He later transferred to Global.[3] in 2013. In 2018, he moved to another Filipino club Ceres-Negros. Ceres-Negros placed him on loan to Malaysian club PKNP where he played in the 2019 Malaysia Super League. In January 2020, he was signed for Thai club Trat ahead of the 2020 Thai League 1 season.[5]

After Trat FC's relegation to 2021–22 Thai League 2, he was acquired by Nongbua Pitchaya as their ASEAN quota for 2021–22 Thai League 1.[6] In August 2022, he was signed by Thai Club Nakhon Ratchasima ahead of the 2022–23 Thai League 1.[7] He would later return at Trat at the start of the 2023–24 Thai League 1.

International career

Philippines U-22 Olympic

Aguinaldo was part of the Philippines U-22 Olympic squad that competed in the 2019 Southeast Asian Games held in Philippines.[8] He was one of two senior players of the squad along with Stephan Schröck.[9]

Philippines

In August 2013, he was named in the 21-man squad for the international friendly match against Indonesia[10] on August 14, 2013. He earned his first senior international cap on the said match by replacing James Younghusband in 63rd minute.[11]

He made his first appearance for the under-23 national team in the 1–0 friendly match loss against Singapore on June 13, 2013.[12]

Aguinaldo was a member of the Philippines' squad at both the 2014 AFC Challenge Cup and the 2014 AFF Championship, reaching the finals and semi-finals respectively in each competition.[13] During the latter tournament Aguinaldo was involved in a fair bit of controversy in the first leg of the semi-final as Thai striker Adisak Kraisorn was sent off for an off the ball altercation with the Filipino defender.[14] It appeared that Aguinaldo might have provoked the confrontation and afterwards he and other Filipino footballers received threats from Thai fans.[15]
