Monaco
Matazo was born in the Woluwe-Saint-Lambert municipality in Brussels and grew up in its Andromède neighborhood.[3] He came through the youth academy of RSC Anderlecht,[4] but joined AS Monaco from Anderlecht in June 2018, aged 16.[5] He suffered a hip injury soon after joining Monaco, which left him injured for eight months.[4] Matazo made his professional debut for AS Monaco on 27 September 2020 in a Ligue 1 game against RC Strasbourg.[4][6] On 9 May 2021, he scored his first Ligue 1 goal in a 1–0 away win over Reims.[7][8]
In January 2022, Matazo signed a new four-year contract with Monaco, valid until 2026.[9]
Royal Antwerp (loan)
On 1 February 2024, Matazo was loaned by Royal Antwerp until the end of the season.[10]
Hull City
On 24 January 2025, Matazo joined EFL Championship club Hull City for an undisclosed fee, signing a three-and-a-half year deal with the option for a further year.[11] He made his debut the same day coming on as a 55th-minute substitute for Matt Crooks in the 3–0 away win against Sheffield United.[12] He scored his first goal for the club on 1 February 2025 in the 1–2 home loss to Stoke City.[13]
In February 2025, Matazo suffered an ACL injury, which ruled him out for the remainder of the season.[14] He returned from injury on 25 April 2026, starting away at Charlton Athletic. In the first 10 minutes of the match, he suffered another ACL injury, this time on his left knee.[15][16]
