Career

Koudou is a youth product of the academies of ES Goelly, Compans FC, FC Villepinte, and Torcy before moving to Reims youth academy on 10 May 2017.

[3] On 12 May 2023, he made his professional debut with Reims in a 2–1 Ligue 1 loss to Olympique de Marseille. [4]

Loan to Pau FC

Following his brief stint with the first team, Koudou's development was deemed essential, and a decision was made to further his progress through a loan spell. Thus, he was loaned to Pau FC, a club competing in Ligue 2, the second tier of French football. Pau, known for nurturing young talent, was considered the ideal destination for the talented right-back. [5]

In Béarn, Koudou quickly becomes an undisputed starter at the right-back position, showing great maturity despite his young age. [6]

Transfer to Pau FC

In August 2024, Thérence Koudou joined Pau FC on a permanent basis after the first matchday of the 2024–25 Ligue 2 season, in a transfer with undisclosed financial terms. [7] Koudou is expected to compete with his successor, Jordy Gaspar, for the right-back position. [8] Despite interest from other clubs such as FC Basel and Troyes AC, Koudou chose to return to Pau after a successful loan spell in the previous season. [7] His transfer includes a resale percentage in favor of Stade de Reims. [9]

Pau Football Club, commonly referred to as Pau FC, is a professional football club based in Pau, capital of Béarn, France. Pau FC plays its home matches at the Nouste Camp and competes in Ligue 2, the second tier of French football. Nicknamed Les Maynats, Pau FC traces its origins to the patronage of the Bleuets de Notre-Dame, officially founded in 1920 in the Mayolis district. By the onset of the 1958–59 season, the Bleuets had ascended to the highest amateur division in the French football league system, prompting religious authorities to acknowledge its sporting prowess, surpassing that of a mere local football club. Under the stewardship of its founding president, José Bidegain, the Bleuets de Notre-Dame's senior team transitioned into the Football-Club de Pau. By the 60s, they had settled in the Stade du Hameau, harbouring ambitions of turning professional.
