Stuttgart’s Wamangituka reveals real name & age after ‘manipulation’ by ex-agent



Stuttgart’s Silas Wamangituka has revealed his name and age were false after being the “victim of manipulation by his former player agent”.

Documentation has come to light that, according to Stuttgart, proves the Congolese forward’s real name is Silas Katompa Mvumpa and that he is 22, rather than 21 (his age listed on the Bundesliga’s official website as of 1.30pm BST on June 8).

Silas, as Stuttgart now refer to him, has worked with Stuttgart and a new agent to obtain his correct records from the Democratic Republic of Congo and clarify his identity. Due to his situation, Silas says he has been “living in fear”.

The forward won this season’s Bundesliga Rookie of the Year after Stuttgart’s promotion.
How did this happen?

Stuttgart say that following a trial with Anderlecht in 2017, “an agent is said to have put Silas under considerable pressure in Belgium and convinced him that he would not be allowed to return to Europe if he left Belgium and went back to Congo.

“Silas trusted the agent and went to live with him in Paris. He then changed his identity and papers were created for him in the name of Silas Wamangituka (one of the names of his father) and with a date of birth that was exactly one year different from his own, 6 October 1999.

“From this point onwards, Silas was under the influence of the agent who syphoned off part of his wages and threatened him that he would never play football again if the matter ever became public.

“Thanks to his considerable efforts to clear up the situation, Silas now has a valid Congolese passport with his correct personal details.”

The club noted that Silas “had been the victim of manipulation by his former player agent and that Wamangituka is not his real name”.
What has Silas said?

“Over the past few years, I was constantly living in fear and was also very worried for my family in Congo,” he told the club website.

“It was a tough step for me to take to make my story public and I would never have had the courage to do so if Stuttgart, my team and VfB had not become like a second home and a safe place to me.”

Stuttgart sporting director Sven Mislintat added: “First and foremost, Silas has been the victim of this change of name.

“I have the greatest respect for the fact that at a young age, he has taken the brave step to clarify his situation. We will continue to give him all the help he needs in absolutely every respect.”
How has he performed at Stuttgart?

Since joining from Paris FC in 2019, Silas has been a key player for Stuttgart.

In his first year in Germany, he scored seven goals as Stuttgart were promoted to the Bundesliga.

Silas kicked on in his debut top-flight campaign, registering 11 goals and five assists as Stuttgart enjoyed a ninth-placed finish, and firmly established himself as a highly-rated Bundesliga talent.

Lewandowski has told Bayern he wants to leave.

I bet Harry Kane spat his coffee out when he saw that.
