the final 2–1 win and the club's first ever in that stage of the competition. On 1 November, he netted in the last minute against Porto (same competition, venue and result). In the round-of-16's second leg against Lyon, on 7 March 2012, he scored the 1–0 at home which levelled the tie, being sent off before the penalty shootout victory. On 4 April 2012, he scored his side's first goal in an eventual 5–2 quarter-final loss at Real Madrid (8–2 on aggregate). Manduca won his second Cypriot league in 2012–13, starting in all 32 league matches and scoring 12 times. On 31 May 2013, he agreed to a two-year extension. The following campaign, Manduca bettered that total to a career-best 13 goals, being an essential attacking unit as his team conquered the treble of league, Cup and Super Cup. He was also a regular in the next season's Champions League group stage and equalised from the penalty spot in a 1–1 home draw with Ajax on 30 September 2014. On 30 March 2015, aged 34, Manduca announced his immediate retirement from football due to a serious ankle injury. The same day, he was appointed director of football at APOEL, signing a two-year contract with the club. Manduca left the GSP Stadium on 7 October 2015 after only six months in the post, by mutual consent. Coaching career APOEL On 11 May 2015, following the dismissal of Thorsten Fink, Manduca took over as caretaker manager for APOEL's crucial final two games of the season as well as the Cypriot Cup final, alongside assistant Giorgos Kostis and former club captain Marinos Satsias. His short spell in charge saw the team win the double after beating AEL Limassol 4–2 in the domestic cup decider, and collecting the four points needed to conquer the league title. Othellos At the end of the 2015–16 season, Manduca agreed terms with Cypriot Second Division side Othellos Athienou to take over as coach. On 21 November 2016, after only a few months in charge, his contract was terminated due to a poor string of results.
