The reason for this release was the reckless behaviour on the pitch during the 2007-08 season. After 24 matchdays, Manga had received red cards against Tubize, VW Hamme and OH Leuven. On matchday 25, against Antwerp, Manga made a dangerous two-footed challenge on Luciano Olguín. He only received a yellow card, but was substituted during the break after some other risky interventions.[1]

Personal life edit

Manga acquired French nationality by naturalization on 1 June 2004.[2]
