Born in Bakel, Senegal, Coulibaly signed for the AS Nancy training centre aged 14, whilst training at US Villejuif. He signed his first professional contract, of three years duration, in 2013.[1] His first team debut came as a substitute in a 0–3 Ligue 1 defeat to Saint-Étienne on 23 February 2013.[2] He scored his first senior goal on 26 October 2013 in the Ligue 2 game against Caen.[3]
In June 2017, Coulibaly left Nancy to play for Willem II in the Dutch Eredivisie.[4]
Coulibaly returned to France in January 2020, signing with Sporting Club Toulon, but only managed one appearance due to the premature end to the season. He was subsequently released and, in August 2020 signed for Championnat National side US Orléans.[5] In November 2021, he joined SAS Épinal.[6]
Coulibaly also played youth international football for France.[7]
His brothers Mohamed, Ibrahim and Aly are also footballers.[8]
