Born in France, he moved to Belgium as a child and began his career there at Standard Liège, going onto Porto in 2011 where he won consecutive Primeira Liga titles before joining Manchester City in 2014 for £32 million. He played 79 matches for City, won the Premier League in 2017–18, and had loans at Valencia and Everton, before joining the former on a free transfer in 2019.
Mangala made his debut with the France national team on 6 June 2013 against Uruguay. He was included in the nation's squads for the 2014 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 2016, making a substitute appearance in the latter.

Manchester City
On 11 August 2014, Mangala signed for English club
Mangala made his debut in City's fifth match of the Premier League season, a 1–1 home draw against Chelsea on 21 September. Lining up alongside captain Vincent Kompany, his performance was described by BBC Sport as "colossal".[28] Six days later, an own goal and concession of a penalty by Mangala caused City to lose a 2–0 lead against Hull City, although they eventually triumphed 4–2. Despite media criticism, manager Manuel Pellegrini said "we continue to trust him because he is a very good player who had very bad luck".[29] On 30 November, Mangala was sent off for two yellow cards in City's 3–0 win away to Southampton.[30]
Valencia (loan)
On 31 August 2016, Mangala joined Spanish club
Everton (loan)
Mangala joined Premier League club Everton on loan on 31 January 2018. [35] He made his debut against Arsenal,[36] but in his second game against Crystal Palace he was forced off at half-time with a knee injury.[37] He later underwent surgery and was ruled out for the remainder of the season.[38] At the end of the season he was eligible for a Premier League winners' medal having previously made nine league appearances for Manchester City before joining Everton.[39]
Valencia
On 12 August 2019, Mangala returned to former club
Saint-Étienne
On 20 January 2022, Mangala signed for Saint-Étienne on a free transfer, on a six-month contract.[42] He played 14 Ligue 1 matches, and scored an equaliser in a 2–1 home loss to Reims in the penultimate fixture on 14 May.[43] He was suspended three times due to accumulating nine yellow cards, missing the first leg of the promotion/relegation playoff against Auxerre and returning in the second leg for the penalty shootout defeat.[44][45]
Estoril
On 7 August 2023, being without a club for over a year, Mangala returned to Portugal to join Primeira Liga club Estoril after trialling with the side, he was signed on a one-year deal.[46]
International career
Due to being raised in Belgium, Mangala did not feature with any of France's youth football teams. In 2008, he was approached by the Royal Belgian Football Association who called the player up to the country's under-18 national team. However, due to not possessing a passport at the time, the call up was deemed futile. After excelling with Standard Liège's senior team, Mangala drew the interest of the French Football Federation with France under-21 manager Erick Mombaerts attending a match between Liège and Mouscron at the Stade Le Canonnier in November.[47] On 5 November 2009, Mangala was selected, for the first time, to the under-21 team for a friendly match against Tunisia on 13 November and a 2011 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualification match against Slovenia on 17 November. Mangala made his under-21 debut in the Tunisia match, but missed the match against Slovenia after withdrawing from the team due to an injury suffered the previous day in training. On 2 March 2010, he earned his second straight selection to the under-21 team and started in central defence alongside captain Mamadou Sakho in the team's 3–1 win over Croatia.[citation needed]
Mangala made his debut with the France senior team in a 1–0 loss to Uruguay on 6 June 2013.[48] He was included in France's squad for the 2014 FIFA World Cup but did not make an appearance during the tournament, in which Les Bleus reached the quarter-finals.[49]
Mangala was also included in France's squad that finished runners-up at UEFA Euro 2016 on home soil. He made one appearance in the quarter-finals on 3 July, replacing Laurent Koscielny for the final 18 minutes of a 5–2 win over Iceland at the Stade de France.[50]
