Career

TOP Oss

Koeman came through the youth system at Almere City but never made an appearance for the first team. In 2015, he moved to FC Oss to increase his chances at first team playing time. He made his debut on 29 April 2016 in an Eerste Divisie game against FC Volendam as a substitute, coming on in the 83rd minute for Xavier Mous in a 2–1 home defeat.^[3]

Telstar

On 25 June 2021, it was announced that Koeman had signed with Telstar.^[4] On 10 September, he made his debut for the club in a league match against Almere City, his former team, which ended in a 1–1 draw. He took over the goalkeeping duties from Trevor Doornbusch after head coach Andries Jonker decided to bench him due to a series of significant errors in previous games.^[5] Following that, he continued as a starter, except for a setback in October 2021 when he sustained an injury that kept him out of action for the remainder of the year.^[6]

On 13 January 2023, he received the first red card of his professional career after a reckless challenge outside the penalty area against Nick Koster of Jong AZ.^[7]

Koeman suffered a second wrist injury during training in September 2023, sidelining him for several months.^[8] He extended his contract with Telstar on 29 May 2024, signing a one-year deal until 30 June 2025.^[9]

In the 2024–25 season, Koeman played every minute of Telstar's 38 league matches, two KNVB Cup ties, and all four promotion play-off fixtures. He kept a clean sheet in a 2–0 win over ADO Den Haag and helped secure a 3–1 second-leg victory against Willem II in the final, earning Telstar promotion to the Eredivisie for the first time in 47 years.^[10][11]

Personal life

He is the son of current Dutch national team and former FC Barcelona manager Ronald Koeman, who also had an illustrious career as a player for FC Barcelona, PSV Eindhoven, FC Groningen, and the Dutch national team. He is the nephew of former Dutch international football player Erwin Koeman, and the grandson of former Dutch international Martin Koeman.^[12]
