Born in Bastia, Coulibaly began his career with SC Bastia and made 35 league appearances in four seasons with the club, one of them being in Ligue 1.[1] He moved to Istres in July 2008 and helped the club gain promotion to Ligue 2 as National champions in his first season.[1] Two years later, Coulibaly was transferred to Monaco, having scored 6 goals in 107 games for Istres.[1][2]

In January 2014, he was released by Monaco, having played no games for the club in almost a year.[3] A few days later, he signed a six months contract with Laval.[4]

Six months later, Coulibaly returned to his native island, joining Ligue 2 side AC Ajaccio.[5]

In July 2015, he joined Belgian First Division A club Waasland-Beveren on a free transfer. He signed a one-year contract with the option of another.[6]

In August 2017, Coulibaly returned to his former club SC Bastia as one of four new signings announced by the club, which had played in Ligue 1 in the 2016–17 season but dropped to the fifth-tier Championnat National 3 after filing bankruptcy.[7]
