Football career
Born in São Paulo, Felipe Manoel was signed by Villarreal CF on 30 January 2008, still a youngster, from São Bernardo Futebol Clube. He was immediately loaned to Sport Club do Recife, until 30 June.
Felipe split the 2008–09 season in the Spanish second division, starting off at SD Huesca. In December 2008 he moved to Levante UD, and appeared only six times between the two teams combined.
Felipe Manoel spent the first months of the new campaign unregistered. In the 2010 January transfer window, however, he was assigned to Villarreal's reserves also in the second level. Later in the year, he returned to his country, signing a five-year contract with Sociedade Esportiva e Recreativa Caxias do Sul in division three but being released in November 2011.
Felipe subsequently resumed his career in the lower levels, representing Paysandu Sport Club, Futebol Clube Santa Cruz (two stints), Esporte Clube Novo Hamburgo, Associação Atlética Santa Cruz, Guaratinguetá Futebol, Nacional Futebol Clube and Rio Preto Esporte Clube.
On 29 June 2016, Felipe Manoel signed with Portuguese C.S. Marítimo, but he terminated his contract shortly after and returned to his country.
