Amougou who had already been training with the academy of professional side Saint-Étienne, moved officially in July 2021. After a year playing youth football with Saint-Étienne, he was promoted to the club's second team, competing in the Championnat National 3. Mid-way through his first season in senior football, in April 2023, he signed his first professional contract with the club, penning a two-year deal. After making his senior debut on 13 January 2024 in a goalless draw against Laval in Ligue 2, he established himself as a more regular starter during the first half of the 2024–25 Ligue 1.

In 2022, following impressive performances for Saint-Étienne's youth team, French national youth coach Jean-Luc Vannuchi called him up for a double-header against Germany, and he made his under-16 debut in the second of these two games. Despite this being his only appearance for the under-16 squad, he remained a player of interest for Vannuchi, and having impressed at both under-17 and under-18 level, he was called up to the squad for the 2023 FIFA U-17 World Cup.
