Phillipp Mwene discovered his enthusiasm for soccer at a very early age. After moving to Stuttgart, the Viennese completed his A-levels in Germany. His school education was very important to his mother Gabriele. Every game is analyzed in detail with Papa John.

Through a contact from Papa John, who has Kenyan roots and is a huge Bayern fan, he completed a trial training session at Vienna Austria when he was five and a half years old. "He was accepted straight away and developed very well," his mother Gabriele remembers fondly.
