Wilfried Mbappé is most famous for being Kylian Mbappé’s father. However, he also has a mildly successful career in the sporting world as a football coach and agent.

The world has Wilfried, who was once a footballer himself, to thank for Kylian’s greatness because he was the one who inspired him to love football. Of course, it didn’t end with him inspiring Kylian; he also helped him nurture the talent, starting what many now call “Project Mbappé.”  

Here is everything there is to know about him.

Who Is Kylian Mbappé’s Father, Wilfried Mbappé?

Kylian Mbappé’s father, Wilfried Mbappé, was born in Douala, Cameroon, on October 11, 1970. He attended a local elementary school in Cameroon for primary and secondary education. Then, he completed his college education in Paris, graduating with a certificate in Physical Education.

Wilfried migrated permanently to France later on and settled in Bondy, a suburb in the country’s capital, Paris. There, he set down roots and created a family that saw him become the father of three boys, Kylian and Ethan Mbappé, and an adopted son, Jires Kombo Ekoko.

Wilfried Mbappé’s career as a professional footballer was launched after he moved to France. He got to play for teams in the country’s regional leagues. However, he was unable to play for the country’s biggest teams.

After settling in Bondy, he started his managerial career as a coach in Bondy. He became quite popular in the town because he worked closely with talented kids to help them sharpen their skills. 

He later joined AS Bondy, a famous club in the town. Wilfried worked there for 25 years and worked in various posts. After working there as a coach, he became the sporting director for the under-10s to under-17s. Thanks to his ability to spot budding talent, he has coached good players like Arsenal’s defender William Saliba and Fiorentina’s forward Jonathan Ikone, to name a few.

Wilfried Mbappe Net Worth

Wilfried Mbappé’s net worth has been estimated to be in the millions. However, the precise amount has not been disclosed as of the time of this writing.

The same cannot be said for his famous son, Kylian, whose earnings are well known because of his popularity and football’s transparency. According to Forbes, Kylian earns $110 million yearly from football and $18 million annually in off-field endorsements.

Wilfried Mbappé Religion

According to several sources, Wilfried Mbappé’s religion is Christianity. However, his son has had a taste of both Christianity and Islam. 

This is because his mother, Fayza Lamari, is an active Muslim. Even though she is a Muslim, her son Kylian, who grew up experiencing Islam through her eyes, practices Christianity like his father. 

Wilfried Mbappé Nationality

Wilfried’s nationality is Cameroonian. He moved to France to pursue a football career but never hit it as big as his son has as a player. 

He had better luck as a coach and is now known for starting “Project Mbappé,” which turned his son into one of the most promising ballers on the field. 

Wilfried Mbappé Children

Wilfried Mbappé has a total of three kids, including Kylian. His other kids, also boys, are Ethan Mbappé and the adopted Jires Kombo Ekoko.

Wilfried Mbappé Wife

Wilfried Mbappé’s wife is Fayza Lamari. She was Wilfried’s girlfriend for an extended period before they tied the knot in a secret ceremony in the late 1990s.

Lamari is a former French national handball team member of Kabyle heritage from Algeria. She supports her son and husband and often attends football games alongside Wilfried. 

Wilfried Mbappé Age

Wilfried Mbappé’s age is 50 years. He entered this world on October 11, 1970, and his impact has been felt in the decades that followed. 

Some fathers leave their kids early in life, and their children never see some. But Wilfried Mbappé is different; he supported his son and helped him nurture his dreams. 

He is now famous for that, and his son’s prowess continues to grow by leaps and bounds. Other famous faces who raised talented kids include Denzel Washington, Stephen Baldwin, and Lionel Richie.
