Nico Mantl (born 6 February 2000) is a German professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Scottish Premiership club Kilmarnock.

Club career

After nearly two seasons as SpVgg Unterhaching's first choice goalkeeper, Mantl completed a move to Austrian Bundesliga side Red Bull Salzburg in January 2021, signing a four-and-a-half-year deal. At the end of December 2022, Mantl signed loan deal for the rest of the season with Danish Superliga club AaB.

Mantl returned to Salzburg ahead of the 2023–24 season, sitting on the bench for a number of games in his first six months back at the club, while also getting a full game in the league against Blau-Weiß Linz in September 2023. In search of more playing time, Mantl returned to Denmark in January 2024; this time to Viborg FF, where Mantl signed a loan deal until the end of the season.

On 19 June 2024, it was announced that Mantl would join Portuguese side Arouca on a permanent deal on 1 July. On 27 January 2026, Arouca sent Mantl on loan to Austrian Bundesliga club Blau-Weiß Linz until the end of the 2025–26 season.

On 16 October 2026, Mantl joined Scottish Premiership club Kilmarnock on a short-term deal until the end of the 2026–27 season.
