Terence Pierre "Tété" Makengo (born 22 June 1992) is a French professional footballer of Congolese descent who plays as a forward. He is the son of former professional football player Sabhou Makengo.[1][2]
Early life
Makengo was born in Boulogne-sur-Mer, France, to Zairean parents. He is the son of Sabhou Makengo, an international Zairean footballer who was playing as a playmaker at US Boulogne.[3] He acquired French nationality on 28 August 2000, through the collective effect of his mother's naturalization.[4]
Career
Makengo plays as a striker and is a former graduate of the INF Clairefontaine academy. Makengo is also a French youth international having represented France at under-17 level. On 3 November 2008, at the age of 16, he signed his first professional contract agreeing to a three-year deal with Monaco until 1 July 2011. The agreement made him the youngest player in the club's history to sign a professional contract.[5]
On 10 November 2010, almost two years after signing his professional contract, Makengo made his professional debut in a Coupe de la Ligue match against Marseille appearing as a substitute in a 2–1 defeat.[6] Makengo's development at Monaco has been traced by several clubs, notably Italian club Internazionale and English club Chelsea.[7][8]
On 27 June 2011, Makengo signed a new professional contract agreeing to a three-year deal with Monaco.[9] In July 2012, he joined Ligue 2 side AJ Auxerre on a loan deal.
In September 2013, Makengo left Monaco despite still having a year remaining on his contract, signing a three-year deal with Châteauroux.[10] After two years as a regular in Ligue 2, he didn't make any appearances in the 2015–16 season, and left the club at the conclusion of his contract. In late 2016, he signed for Polish I liga side Zagłębie Sosnowiec on an 18-month deal.[11] He left without making an appearance due to tearing an ACL tendon shortly after joining the club.[12]
Makengo returned to France in July 2018, signing for Les Herbiers VF.[13] On leaving Les Herbiers in the summer of 2019, he signed for Villefranche, but only played with their B team in Régional 2 (7th tier), and in January 2020 he signed for Moulins Yzeure Foot.[14] In June 2020 he returned to Villefranche.[15]
