Club career

Inter

Having previously played in the academies of Beerschot and Royal Antwerp in his native Belgium, Miangué moved to Italy in 2013 to join Serie A side Internazionale.[3] He appeared on the bench for Inter for the first time on 10 April 2016.[3] He made his Serie A debut for the club on 28 August 2016, coming off the bench for Davide Santon in a 1–1 draw with Palermo.[2] Two days later, he was rewarded with a new four-year deal with the club.[4] He made his UEFA Europa League debut for Inter on 29 September in a 3–1 loss to Sparta Prague. Miangué made a total of four appearances for the club before signing for Cagliari, initially on loan, and then permanently.

Cagliari

On 26 January 2017, fellow Serie A side Cagliari announced Miangué's signing on loan for the remainder of the season, with the club retaining the option of purchase at the end thereof.[5] He made his debut for the club on 29 January and assisted Marco Borriello for a 92nd-minute equalizer in a 1–1 draw with Bologna.[6] He made two further appearances, as Cagliari ended the season in 11th position. On 30 June, he signed for the club permanently.[7][8]

The following season, on 30 December, he received his first ever red card, when he was sent off in a league win over Atalanta.[9]

Standard Liège

On 28 June 2018, Miangué returned to his native Belgium to join Standard Liège on a two-year loan deal.[10]

Eupen

On 7 July 2020, Miangué joined K.A.S. Eupen on loan until 30 June 2021.[11]

International career

After having represented Belgium at various youth levels (starting in 2012 with the under-15 until 2019 with the under-21), Miangué switched nationality on March 2020, by accepting the call from Congo in the view of the double match against Eswatini for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualification Group I.[12][13]
