Tony Mamodaly (born 2 August 1990) is a sports agent and former professional footballer who played as a forward. Born in Germany, he represented Madagascar at international level.
Early and personal life[edit]
Mamodaly was born in Mannheim, Germany.[2] His father was from Madagascar.[3] Mamodaly initially combined his football career with handball, playing for Rhein-Neckar Löwen and the German national youth team,[4][5] before giving it up to concentrate on football.[3]
Club career[edit]
Mamodaly joined TSG 1899 Hoffenheim at the age of 16.[4] After playing with Karlsruher SC II, he trialled with Scottish club Dundee United along with eight teammates, including Lukas Rupp and Matthias Zimmermann.[4] His proposed transfer to Dundee fell through and he instead moved to Dynamo Dresden II,[4] signing for them in October 2009.[5] Mamodaly viewed his time with Dynamo Dresden as a "catastrophe" and that he was bullied by the manager.[4] After two years he trialled with French club Lorient, but that transfer also fell through.[4] He left Dynamo Dresden, and trained with a VDV camp for contractless players.[4] He trialled with 1. FC Nürnberg.[4]
He moved to the United States to play college soccer with the St. Thomas University Bobcats.[4] He spent four seasons with the team,[2] and became their captain.[4] He ended his career in 2016 due to knee problems.[4]
International career[edit]
Mamodaly earned two caps for Madagascar in 2010.[2]
Later career[edit]
Mamodaly began studying for an MBA at Columbia University before returning to Miami to undertake a master's degree.[4] He also set up a sports agency for young players from Germany, Italy and Brazil to study and play in the United States.[4]
