On 7 September 2020, Mandanda signed with Norwegian club Kongsvinger IL that plays in the second tier 1. divisjon.[9] In July 2021, he joined Créteil in the Championnat National.[10]
International career
Mandanda played five matches with the France U18 team and one with the France U19 before playing four matches with Congo DR under-20. In November 2019 he was called up by the DR Congo national team, but did not make the team's roster for 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.[11]
Personal life
