In the mid-1980s, Kumbela's family fled from Zaire, which had been shaken by civil war, to Pforzheim in Baden-Württemberg . He has three siblings who all live in southwest Germany.

Career

societies

Kumbela began his career in the U-19 youth team of FK Pirmasens and moved to 1. FC Kaiserslautern for the 2002/03 season , for whose U-19 youth team and then for the second team he was active. In November 2005 he was fired for using cannabis .

The regional division FC Rot-Weiß Erfurt gave Kumbela a second chance and signed him during the winter break of the 2005/06 season . After he failed to score in his first season, he became a top performer in the following season . Nevertheless, it made negative headlines again. Kumbela was involved in the soccer betting scandal . The regional court in Frankfurt am Main therefore sentenced him to a fine for “gang-like appointment for commercial fraud ”. Kumbela also made a name for herself with indiscipline on the pitch. At the beginning of the 2007/08 season he was sent off three times within a few weeks for unsportsmanlike conduct. In December 2007, his club finally gave him notice without notice after beating up his girlfriend and a bouncer in an Erfurt discotheque . He broke the bouncer's eye socket and kicked his pregnant friend lying on the floor. As a result, he was sentenced to 14 months probation in February 2009. For FC Rot-Weiß Erfurt, Kumbela played 56 regional league games and scored 17 goals.

In the second half of the 2007/08 season Kumbela then played for league rivals Eintracht Braunschweig , for whom he scored two goals in 14 games, including the decisive winning goal against Dortmund II on the last day of the game. The hit led to Braunschweig qualifying for the newly created League 3. For the 2008/09 season he moved to the third division club SC Paderborn 07 where his Erfurt trainer Pavel Dotchev was now in office. After the SCP rose again, Kumbela joined the second division competitor Rot Weiss Ahlen , where he was unable to prevail. After six games at the beginning of the season, he was no longer used, so that his contract was terminated by the club in mid-November 2009.

In January 2010 he returned to Eintracht Braunschweig, with whom he won the championship at the end of the 2010/11 season and was promoted to the 2nd Bundesliga . The striker scored 19 goals in 38 third division games, making a significant contribution to promotion and, together with Patrick Mayer from Heidenheim, was also the top scorer. Kumbela also remained the club's most successful goalscorer in the 2nd Bundesliga. After 10 goals in the 2011/12 season, he was the top scorer in the 2nd Bundesliga in 2012/13 with 19 goals and was promoted to the Bundesliga with the Braunschweig team . At the beginning of February 2013, he extended his contract prematurely until the end of June 2016. He missed the start of the season due to a torn tendon. On August 25, 2013 (3rd match day) Kumbela made his debut in the 0-2 defeat in the home game against Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga. In the derby at VfL Wolfsburg , he scored his first Bundesliga goal with the goal to make it 2-0 in the 86th minute on October 5, 2013 (8th matchday). After he was able to score three goals in both the Regionalliga Nord and the 2nd Bundesliga, he succeeded on February 15, 2014 (21st matchday) in a 4-2 win at home against Hamburger SV and in the Bundesliga. Kumbela was the seventh player in Bundesliga history to score a hat trick as a substitute .

After Eintracht's relegation after a year in the Bundesliga, negotiations between the club and Kumbela for a contract extension failed because his contract was only for the first division and he did not want to play in the second division again. Far from his previous sporting home in Braunschweig, however, his success should be limited.

For the new season he joined the Europa League participant Kardemir Karabükspor , for whom he made his debut on August 31, 2014 (1st matchday) in the 2: 3 defeat against Fenerbahçe Istanbul in the Süper Lig and with the goal for 1 : 1 also scored his first league goal in the 34th minute. Overall, Kumbela scored three league goals this season and was relegated with Karabükspor at the end of the season.

After an unsuccessful year in Turkey, he moved to second division SpVgg Greuther Fürth for the 2015/16 season , where he received a two-year contract. In the summer training camp he suffered from adductor problems. Kumbela could not prevail in the first half of the season and only made six appearances and two assists . After Kumbela also publicly complained about his role as Joker , his contract was terminated on December 31, 2015.

Only shortly after the contract at Greuther Fürth was terminated, Kumbela moved to Eintracht Braunschweig for the third time. He signed a contract valid until June 30, 2017. After he could only score one goal in the subsequent second half of the season, Kumbela built on past performances after the summer break by scoring eleven goals in 17 games in the first half of the season.

National team

In December 2012, national coach Claude Le Roy appointed him to the extended squad of the Congolese senior team for the 2013 Africa Cup . However, he later decided not to play for his country in order to concentrate on the second Bundesliga.

Awards

After the active career

After the end of his playing career, Kumbela moved to Neuss and founded a player agency . His first client was in Austria operating Gerhard Dombaxi .
