Club career
PSV
In 2011 Depay was on trial for the club's first team while playing for Jong PSV - the reserve team of PSV. He featured in the KNVB Beker final on 8 April 2012 under interim coach Phillip Cocu, and was officially implemented in the first team the following day.[3] He played eight matches and scored three goals in his debut season.
The next season, with Dick Advocaat as PSV's head coach, Depay became more important for the team, appearing in twenty league games. The only trophy PSV managed to capture that season was the Johan Cruijff-schaal.
For the 2013-14 season, Phillip Cocu was assigned head coach. In a young squad, Depay secured himself of a regular first-team spot since the beginning of the season.
International career
Depay has represented several Dutch youth squads since 2010. With the Under-17 squad he won the 2011 European Championship, hitting the net once in the final. He also played for the Under-19 side, scoring eight goals in seven matches. With the Under-21 team he reached the semi-finals of the 2013 European Championship.
Depay has earned his first senior cap for the Netherlands on 15 October 2013, making his debut in a 2014 FIFA World Cup Qualifier against Turkey (0-2 win). He came on as a substitute in the 89th minute.
