The 19 year-old was released by the English champions at the end of last season after loan spells at Oldham and Italian side Fano, and has signed a one-year deal with the reserve side of the newly-promoted Primera Division club.
That does mean, though, that Mancini is eligible to play in La Liga should he be called upon, and he is desperate to get his chance to play in the Spanish top flight.
He said: ''It is something very important for me. Valladolid is a good team in the Spanish league and I am going to have to work hard.
''I have to win my chance in the youth team to play in the Primera with Valladolid, but if I work hard I don't see any reason why it can't happen.
''My great-grandmother, who died when I was a child, always told me she was from Valladolid, although I personally don't know the city.
