Career
Starting his senior career at AS Béziers Hérault in the French third division, Mangonga was wanted by Ligue 1 clubs Girondins de Bordeaux and Montpellier HSC but ended up playing for Paços de Ferreira in the Portuguese second division due to transfer difficulties.[1]
After playing for Paços de Ferreira, he trained with Porto, the second most successful Portuguese team, before signing with Gil Vicente in the second division. In 1995, Mangonga was released from Gil Vicente. The way he was dismissed by the club, coupled with family problems, soured his relationship with football and he never visited a stadium since retirement.[2]
