Life

M'Boge attended Loughborough University (United Kingdom) from 1999 and obtained two degrees there during his time in Loughborough , starting with a B.Sc. in Computer Science and Management (2003) before earning an M.Sc. in Multimedia and Internet Computing (2004).

Since April 2015 he has worked for the Gambia Football Federation (GFF) as a trainer for several national teams, including assistant head coach for the senior national team. In October 2017 he was promoted from the head coach of the Gambian national soccer team (U-17 juniors) to the head coach of the Gambian national soccer team (U-20 men) ("Young Scorpions") .

As the head coach of the U-20 national team, he secured the title of the WAFU / FOX U-20 tournament of the West African Football Union (WAFU) in 2018 on his first international appearance . The tournament was hosted by Liberia and the Young Scorpions were the only undefeated team in the tournament. It was the first ever U-20 trophy for the country, and he became the first Gambian head coach to win an international trophy, and he also became the youngest coach - 37 years old at the time - to win the award.

After the triumph, the team was greeted by the Gambian President, Adama Barrow , who congratulated them and expressed his pride in their achievements.

M'Boge led the team to third place at the 2019 WAFU U-20 tournament in Conakry (Guinea).
