During his career, spent mainly in Spain's lower leagues but also comprising three La Liga matches, for Real Valladolid (one) and Racing de Santander, Engonga retired as a footballer in 1999, aged only 30.

Shortly after, he took up coaching, managing for a brief period the Equatorial Guinea national football team,^[1] which featured former fellow professionals in Spain Rodolfo Bodipo and Benjamín Zarandona.

Both coincided at Valladolid, in 1991–92; in 2008, Vicente succeeded Óscar at the helm of the Equatorial Guinea national team.
