Club career

In 2007, he moved to French Ligue 2 outfit Bastia, and after an impressive debut season in the French league, he was signed by Côte d'Azur-based Ligue 1 outfit Nice, joining his compatriot, and former Ivorian international Emerse Faé. In August 2012, Coulibaly signed a three-year contract with Turkish Süper Lig club Kasımpaşa, which was then terminated in mutual agreement in January 2015. [3]

On 22 June 2008, he was part of the senior Ivorian squad for the 2010 World Cup qualifier against Botswana, but was an unused substitute, as the Elephants ran out 4–0 winners. [4] Finally, he received his first cap in the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification match against Mozambique on 7 September 2008.
