Career
Koutsoupias moved to Italy at the age of 16.[1]
He made his Serie B debut for Virtus Entella on 3 October 2020 in a game against Reggiana. He substituted Marco Crimi in the 86th minute.[2] He made his first start for Entella on 20 October 2020 against Frosinone.
On 1 September 2021, Ternana announced the acquisition of 20-year-old central midfielder Ilias Koutsoupias on long-season loan from Virtus Entella. Although there was a lot of interest from Serie A clubs and the former Bologna midfielder was ready for the big step, it seems that this will take a year longer.[3] On 12 March 2022, he scored his first goal with the club in a 2–0 home win game against Cosenza Calcio.[4]
On 5 July 2022, Koutsoupias moved to Benevento on loan with an obligation to buy.[5]
Personal life
His father, Georgios Koutsoupias, is a former professional footballer.[1]
