When he was a child, in 1991, his family moved to Szombathely, where he played his first matches for the local football team Haladás and made his debut in the NB2 league at age 15. His father, Volodymyr Koman, was also a football player. Koman played 25 matches and scored three goals in the 2004–05 season of the Hungarian National Championship II.
Sampdoria
editAfter joining Italian club Sampdoria, Koman made his Serie A debut on 7 April 2007 starting in the home match against Torino,[1] recording the assist for the match's only goal, scored by Emiliano Bonazzoli. He then led Sampdoria to win the 2007–08 Campionato Nazionale Primavera title, and also took part at the 2008 UEFA European Under-19 Championship captaining the Hungary under-19 national team.
Koman spent the 2008–09 season on loan to Avellino.[2] He scored four goals in 28 matches in Serie B for Avellino.
For the 2009–10, Koman was loaned to Bari. He scored his first Serie A goal against Palermo in a 4–2 win on 30 January 2010, making him the first Hungarian player to score in the Italian top flight in 15 years. He finished the season with two goals in 16 appearances.
Koman re-joined Sampdoria for the 2010–11 season, becoming a regular member of the squad. In the 2010–11 UEFA Europa League, he assisted a goal against PSV, and scored his first goal against Metalist Kharkiv in the 32nd minute of a Europa League match. Koman was appointed as a captain against Debrecen in the last round of the 2010–11 Europa League.
Monaco
editOn 31 January 2012, Koman joined Monaco on a four-and-a-half-year contract.[3][4] His contract with Sampdoria was set to expire in May 2012. On 15 April, Koman was interviewed after the victory against Metz; he iterated he is expecting his first goal and enjoyed playing in Ligue 2.[5] However, after 17 matches, he left the club for Russian Premier League side Krasnodar.

He made his debut on 16 September 2013 against Dynamo Moscow, where he played the full match.[13] On 15 May 2014, he scored his first goal in the 2013–14 Russian Premier League season on the 30th matchday against Volga Nizhny Novgorod, in the 45th minute.
