Club career

Argeş Piteşti

Manole began his professional career with his home club Argeş Piteşti. He made his debut for Argeş Piteşti on 9 October 2010 as a second-half substitute for Ionuţ Murineanu against Arieşul Turda.^[3]

Vaslui

Although he was supposed to sign a four–year contract with Astra Giurgiu following Argeş Piteşti's disaffiliation,^[4] he ended up signing with Vaslui.^[2] He made his debut in a 1–0 home victory against Poli Timişoara, coming in as a substitute for Vaslui captain Lucian Sânmărtean. He was handed the number 10 jersey, left vacant following the departure of Nicolae Stanciu.^[5]

International career

While involved with the Romania national under-19 football team, Manole photographed himself with controversial Serbian figure Ratko Butorović. As a result, he was banned from representing Romania for six months.^[6]
