Club career
editBorn in Oviedo, Asturias, to a Spanish father of Basque descent and a Thai mother, Amantegui played for local side Real Oviedo, making his debut with the first team on 17 May 2009 in a Tercera División match against CD Condal[2] but spending the vast majority of his two-year spell with the reserves.[3] He continued competing in the third level in the following years, with CD Mirandés and Sporting de Gijón B,[4] contributing with 1,015 minutes of action as the former club promoted to the Segunda División for the first time in its history.
Amantegui signed for Thai Premier League side Buriram United on 23 June 2013,[3] moving to fellow league team Army United for the 2014 campaign. He continued to play at that level in the following years, with Bangkok United, Air Force Central, Muangthong United and Samut Prakan City.[5]
Before the start of 2021 season, he moved to BG Pathum United[6]
