A prestigious new chapter for the 38-year-old coach. Former international from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Joachim Mununga, has been officially appointed to lead the Belgium U17 national team. This appointment within the Belgian federation marks the ongoing progression of a coach who is now recognized as a reference in player development in Europe.

This return to his roots seems natural for the former winger, who spent most of his playing career on Belgian pitches with renowned clubs such as Tunisia, KV Mechelen, and Mons. With enriching experience gained at the highest continental level as an assistant coach for the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon, Joachim Mununga is moving to a significant stage by taking the reins of the young Red Devils.

As head of this key U17 category in Belgium, the tactician's main mission will be to develop and shape the young talents of Belgian football before their transition to the professional world. His dual tactical culture, combining European rigor and experience at the highest international level, will be a major asset in supporting Belgium's future on the European stage.
