Tomi Antero Maanoja (born 12 September 1986) is a Finnish football coach and a former professional goalkeeper.[1] Maanoja has been capped twice for Finland.
Career
[edit]Maanoja made his first appearance in the Veikkausliiga with AC Allianssi from Vantaa in 2005. He completed a move to the neighbouring city's (Espoo) most notable football club, FC Honka, the following season. Maanoja was regarded as one of the best Finnish young goalkeepers and attracted interest from several foreign clubs before his move to AIK on 29 July 2008. He signed a three-and-a-half-year deal with the club for a fee of €450,000.[2]
On 28 February 2009, Maanoja became seriously injured in a pre-season game against Assyriska Föreningen. He broke his leg in two places, rushing out to stop an Assyriska attack. The injury made him miss the 2009 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship, hosted in Sweden, in the summer.[3] He also missed the whole 2009 Allsvenskan season, when AIK won the double. He moved back to Honka in 2011, and on 21 February 2012 he signed a contract with the Norwegian First Division club Sandefjord Fotball as a free agent.[4] Sandefjord's head coach Arne Sandstø let Maanoja play the match against Alta in May 2012 instead of Iven Austbø,[5] but Maanoja spent the rest of the season as the reserve goalkeeper. After one season in Norway, he moved back to Finland and signed for RoPS.[6]
During the season spent with Rovaniemen Palloseura (RoPS), he was selected the Veikkausliiga Player of the Month in July 2013 after showing impressive form and going through the whole month without conceding a goal.
In 2014, He moved to Kuopion Palloseura (KuPS), signing a two-year contract. During the 2014 season Maanoja made a new club record by keeping 13 clean sheets in the league while featuring in all of the competitive matches playing every minute during that season.
In 2020, he joined IF Gnistan.[7]
Coaching career
[edit]Maanoja has worked as a goalkeeping coach of PK-35[8] and HIFK.[9] Since February 2024, he was the assistant coach of KäPa in Ykkösliiga until the end of July.[10]
