Career

Career start at TuS Mayen and time as a loaner from Koblenz

José-Junior Matuwila was born on September 20, 1991 in Bonn to Angolan parents. They came to Germany in 1989 as refugees from the civil war in Angola . He began his career as a football player in 1994 with the TuS Bambinis at TuS Mayen from the Rhineland-Palatinate town of Mayen, around 30 kilometers away from Koblenz . There he went through all the junior play classes until 2007, before he made it into the youth division of TuS Koblenz in summer 2007 . There he started at the beginning also in the U-17 team, for which he last played in Mayen. After only one year, he was promoted to the U-19 team in the summer of 2008 and subsequently belonged to this for at least two seasons. In the summer of 2010, he was the first with her team in the sechstklassigen Rhine Land League represented SG Eintracht Lahnstein awarded and came for that between mid-August and mid-September 2010 to six league appearances and gates two. He made his debut in men's football on August 15, 2010 in the 3: 3 home draw against SG Zell , when he was used from the start by coach Akın Çaglar Kılıç and replaced by Maurice Görges from the 23rd minute of the game. From the beginning of 2011, Matuwila was also awarded to his former training association TuS Mayen for half a year. Nothing is known about missions or the exact number of this for the men's team, which is also represented in the Rhineland League.

Regular assignments at TuS Koblenz II

After his return to Koblenz he was a member of the squad of the club's second team; this has also been in the sixth class Rhineland league since the 2010/11 season. With the team he started weakly in the 2011/12 season, with the first nine championship games all being lost and TuS Koblenz II being bottom of the table by the end of the third day of play. The first victory could not be celebrated until the tenth round. It should be noted that the team lost twelve games in the first 14 rounds and only won two before a run for success began and only two of the remaining 20 games were lost. The left foot was increasingly used on the left as a defensive or midfielder in 28 of the 34 possible league games and contributed a hit. Due to a stretched ligament, he was temporarily out in winter 2011/12, but earned a starting place in spring. Towards the end of the season, Matuwilas changed clubs again to another TuS.

Regular player at TuS Erndtebrück

So he moved in summer 2012 to TuS Erndtebrück in the Oberliga Westfalen , one of the fourth-highest division in Germany. From the beginning of the 2012/13 season, the former professional player and now football coach Peter Cestonaro put him on as a regular in the defensive line of the league club. The German-Angolan player played increasingly as a left-back, but was also used on the right-hand side of defense and in midfield. Until the 28th round he was the undisputed regular player and only missed two games in which he was unused on the bench. However, after he received a red card in a 2-4 home defeat against Westfalia Herne on May 5, 2013 shortly before the end of the game , he was subsequently suspended for four league games and only found one time back in the regular formation until the end of the season. In three other games he was unused on the bench. In the end, the Erndtebrücker, after they even ranked first in the table, took fourth place and were ten points away from a promotion place. Matuwila also played in the Westfalenpokal 2012/13 and was eliminated with his team on penalties in the round of 16 against SC Rot-Weiß Maaslingen.

Under the former Erndtebrück player Florian Schnorrenberg , who had coached the club's second team up to this point and replaced Peter Cestonaro as coach of the first team during the summer break before the 2013/14 season , Matuwila initially hardly played and was only rarely taken into account . Only in the ninth round did he find his way back into the regular formation and stayed in it until the winter break. During this period, he was used ten times over the full 90 minutes and had a record of two hits and one assist. After the start of spring 2014 in February, the Angolan defensive player only had a few minutes' short stint. It was not until the 27th round that he was back in action and returned to regular strength for a few games, before his playing times decreased again towards the end of the season. Overall, José Junior Matuwila was in 20 league games in the 2013/14 season and left the club at the end of the season for family reasons back to Koblenz.

Substitute player in Koblenz

In the university town of Rhineland-Palatinate, he rejoined his former youth club, which also introduced him to adult football. The first team of Koblenz, in its youth still a second division, now played after a license waiver for the third division , which would have been relegated to after the 2009/10 season, in the fourth-class Regionalliga Südwest . Since the contract was only concluded towards the end of August 2014, Matuwila was only used from the fifth championship round. Under Evangelos Nessos and his successor Petrik Sander , however, he was only used as a substitute player and often sat on the bench without being used. Over the entire 2014/15 season , Matuwila, who was often used as a left-back and center-back, but also held other positions, made 20 appearances in the Regionalliga Südwest. In addition, there were four missions and one assist for the second team with play in the Matuwila already well-known Rhineland League, as well as three appearances in the Rhineland Cup . The young defensive player could not prevent the first team from relegating to the Oberliga Rheinland-Pfalz / Saar . After his contract, which expired in summer 2015, was not subsequently extended, the 23-year-old defender left Koblenz on July 1, 2015 and became a clubless. It then passed a little more than two months before Matuwila was signed again by TuS Koblenz and he was signed up to the summer of the following year.

In the first game after the new commitment, Petrik Sander used him as a substitute, where he came on the field in the 90th minute for Angelo Hauk . In the following championship game, he was a left-back in the regular formation for the first time this season and kept it until the end of the season. Less often used as a central defender, Matuwila completed every single minute of the game until the end of the season. In two consecutive missions in April 2016, he scored one goal each; Overall, he was in 25 league games in action and completed a game in the Rhineland Cup. Compared to the previous year when he seven in 20 appearances yellow cards came and sometimes a yellow card suspension suffered, he came into this season with two yellow cards relatively lightly. In the final standings of the Rhineland-Palatinate / Saar football league in 2015/16 , the Koblenzers were in first place in the table with just two defeats from 32 championship games and 14 points ahead of SC Hauenstein , who came second, and thus managed to immediately return to the regional league Southwest.

Breakthrough with Energie Cottbus

After the recent promotion to the Regionalliga Südwest, Matuwila came to Energie Cottbus during the summer break as a test player , whose first team was playing in the Regionalliga Nordost at that time . Starting the season as the fourth central defender, he made it into the Lausitzer starting line-up due to an injury-related loss of Philipp Knechtel , who had torn a cruciate ligament , and a yellow-red suspension from Malte Karbstein in the five-round match against BFC Dynamo . Here he stood out for his performance and was chosen by coach Claus-Dieter Wollitz as a regular player in the Cottbus central defense, where he formed one of the strongest defensive duos in the league in cooperation with Marc Stein , the captain of the Cottbus team. In the 2016/17 season , the German-Angolan played in a total of 30 championship games and contributed one assist. With 15 yellow cards received, he and Jonas Schmidt from FSV 63 Luckenwalde were one of two players who received the most yellow cards this season. For Matuwila, this resulted in two yellow-card suspensions, a third yellow-card suspension, which he picked up in the last game of the season, was no longer due to the end of the season. He also won the Brandenburg Cup with the club , where he was used in the first five games in the 2016/17 season and the final, which ended in a 2-0 victory over FSV 63 Luckenwalde, spent unused on the bench . Already during the winter break, Wollitz announced that he would be able to use the number-related contract option with Matuwila and extend his contract as soon as he had reached the required number of assignments.

After his contract extension, he completed an even more successful season 2017/18 with the Cottbus team . Wollitz continued to use him in the regular formation, with the 1.86 m defensive line on 25 league appearances and one hit and one assist. In terms of discipline, the number of cards received improved, although the defensive player, who was injured due to muscular problems between August and September 2017 and thus missed a few games, still made a negative impression. He was already banned from a game early in the season by yellow-red, received on January 28, 2018 in a 2-0 win over Chemie Leipzig in the 39th minute of the game, after, according to the referee, an opponent lying on the ground in the stomach is said to have kicked a red card and was subsequently banned from the Northeast German Football Association (NOFV) for three games. With Energie Cottbus at the end of the season he was in first place in the table with 28 wins, five draws and a single defeat, 31 points ahead of the runner-up and thus easily made it to professional football. Furthermore, he won the Brandenburg Cup again with the Cottbus team, in which he was now also used in the final . He was also used in the 1st main round of the DFB Cup 2017/18 against the Bundesliga club VfB Stuttgart ; Energie Cottbus was only eliminated from the Stuttgart team on penalties . In the promotion round for participation in the third division following the Brandenburg Cup final a few days after the match, Matuwila and his team won the first leg 3-2, which meant that the 0-0 draw in the second leg was enough and the Cottbus team returned to professional football.

With the first game of the 2018/19 season , Matuwila, still in action as a regular, made his professional debut when he was on the pitch for the full 90 minutes in the 3-0 home win over Hansa Rostock . The Angolan defender played 36 league games, won the Brandenburg Cup for the third time in a row and was relegated to the regional league again at the end of the season.

Change to FCK

The 1. FC Kaiserslautern secured in the summer of 2019, the services Matuwilas and endowed him with a valid until June 2021 contract. The defender was ten times in the 3rd division as well as once each in the DFB and Rhineland Cup and was awarded to the western regional division Rot-Weiss Essen at the end of January 2020 until the end of the season. For this he played two games in the Regionalliga West before he came back to Kaiserslautern.
