Manuel Bobadilla González (born 27 June 1970) is a Cuban retired footballer.
Regarded as the best Cuban player at the end of the 1990s,[1] Bobadilla played his entire career for local side Ciudad La Habana, except for half a season in Germany with Bonner SC,[2] when then Cuban leader Fidel Castro approved for the whole Cuban team to join the German 4th level side for part of the 1998/99 season.[3] After retiring from football in 2001 due to coach Miguel Company ruling him out for the national team, he returned to play for Ciudad la Habana in the 2005 season.[4]
