In May 2007, Coppens came third with Belgium at the European U17 Football Championship. In the summer of 2007, he was part of the Belgian squad at the U17 World Cup in South Korea. Coppens played all three matches. In the beginning of 2008, he came fourth with the Belgian U18 team at the international tournament of Saint Petersburg.

After running through the youth ranks of different Limburg sides, Coppens signed his first professional contract with Cercle Brugge. He started the season as third goalkeeper, behind Bram Verbist and Patrick Lane.

In the summer of 2014, he was released and signed with Dutch side MVV Maastricht.
