Thérence Ange Koudou (born 13 December 2004) is a French professional footballer who plays as a right-back for Ligue 2 club Pau FC.

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. He began his senior career with the reserves of Reims in 2021. On 8 February 2023, he signed his first professional contract with Reims until 2026. On 12 May 2023, he made his professional debut with Reims in a 2–1 Ligue 1 loss to Olympique de Marseille.

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.

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

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. Koudou is expected to compete with his successor, Jordy Gaspar, for the right-back position. 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. His transfer includes a resale percentage in favor of Stade de Reims.

International career

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

Personal life

Koudou's twin brother, Maxence, is also a footballer.
