Joe Tshupula (born 15 May 1972) is a BelgianCongolese football director who is the head of the Academie de Football Nord in Mauritius.

Early life

[edit]

Emigrating to Belgium aged ten, Tshupula was not linked to any team until he was 15 due to not knowing of any local outfit.[1]

Mauritius

[edit]

Succeeding Fidy Rasoanaivo as the AS Port-Louis 2000 coach in 2012,[14] Tshupula was put in to handle Cercle de Joachim the next year,[15] spurring them to 20 points in the first half of 2013-14[16] and capturing that season's trophy.[17] He oversaw a repeat of that success in 2014-15[18] before stepping down to spend more tome with his family.[19] Interested in handling the Mauritius national team,[20] the Belgian worked with Frenchman Alain Happe as assistant by September 2015,[21] before taking his place and steering the young team to 142nd place on the world rankings, their furthest position since May 2007, by June the next year[22] despite failing to qualify for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations with two draws as well as two defeats in Group H, giving in to Rwanda 0-5 their last game.[23] However, when Mauritius were bettered by Comoros and they failed to reach the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations, there was speculation about the former frontman's dismissal,[24] finally resigning in 2017 after getting bettered by Angola 3-2,[25] with Brazilian Francisco Filho taking his place.[26]

About football in Mauritius, the Kinshasa native stated that it was more relaxed, not as tactical, and was more of a recreation than a job despite the league being professional,[1] comparing it to the Belgian promotion.[27] In addition, he believes that there is potential among young Mauritian footballers[27] and that the national selection can qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations in the future.[22]

Personal life

[edit]

Able to understand and speak Creole,[1]

Has a wife and a son who live with him in Mauritius.[1]
