Róbert Mazáň (Slovak pronunciation: [ˈrɔːbert ˈmazaːɲ] born 9 February 1994) is a Slovak professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Panevėžys in A Lyga.

Club career

Early career in Slovakia

In November 2011, Mazáň made his Corgoň Liga debut in a 2–1 away loss against DAC Dunajská Streda.[1] On 2 February 2014, Mazáň signed a new two-and-a-half-year contract that ran until 30 June 2016 with Senica.[2]

Celta Vigo

Despite interest from Benfica and Atalanta, Mazáň joined Celta Vigo with his former teammate from AS Trenčín, Stanislav Lobotka. Mazáň had expressed that this is a huge moment in his career, remarking that while at Podbeskidzie, he felt unappreciated. He had also expressed an interest in getting a spot on Celta's first team.[3]

His first game at Celta, in which he completed the entire 90 minutes, was against later 2018–19 La Liga champions FC Barcelona at Camp Nou on 22 December 2018.[4] After the game, Barcelona's first goal, after the frequent Alba–Messi combination, was partly blamed on Mazáň.[5]

Loan moves to Venezia and CD Tenerife

In late January 2019, it was announced that Mazáň would join Venezia on a half-season loan, to collect more play time.[6] He made his Serie B debut against Livorno on 24 February 2019, playing 90 minutes of the 0–1 defeat.[citation needed] At the end of his, Mazáň had stated that he was prepared to return to Spain and fight for his position in the first team.[7]

On 24 July 2019, Mazáň moved to Segunda División side CD Tenerife one-year loan.[8]

Czech Republic

On 11 September 2020, Mazáň signed a new contract with Mladá Boleslav.[9] He left Mladá Boleslav after 13 games in February 2021 after no longer being a part of plans of Karel Jarolím.[10]

On 9 February 2021, his 27th birthday, Mazáň signed a half-season deal with Karviná, where he was desired by the manager Juraj Jarábek.[11][12]

Hebar Pazardzhik

In September 2022, Mazáň joined newly-promoted Bulgarian first division club Hebar Pazardzhik.[13]

International career

In October 2017, Mazáň debuted for the Slovak senior squad against Malta.[14] With the arrival of Pavel Hapal to the national team, he lost his spot even in March 2019, despite his move to Venezia and higher playing time.[15]
