Former Leopard, Joachim Mununga appointed head of Belgium U17 team, central to the binational project

The Royal Belgian Football Federation appointed Joachim Mununga as the head coach of the Belgium U17 team, overseeing a new generation set to play friendly matches in Spain against the United States and the Netherlands. Born in Belgium to Congolese parents, Mununga played for Belgian youth teams before representing DR Congo in 2011, which helps him understand the dilemmas faced by binational youth. Simon Mignolet considers his dual nationality an asset for supporting these players while respecting their final decision. Mununga, described as pragmatic and tactical, aims to establish a winning culture and develop young talent.
