Career

On 8 February 2023, he signed his first professional contract with Reims until 2026.[4] On 12 May 2023, he made his professional debut with Reims in a 2–1 Ligue 1 loss to Olympique de Marseille.[5]

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.[6]

Born in France, Koudou is of Ivorian descent. He was called up to the France U20s for the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup.[7]
