Impact Coulibaly ended his loan spell in Brest with a season-ending injury that now seems behind him since the Frenchman was back on the bench for Tuesday's game. The defender showed good potential during his time with the Brestois but it remains unclear whether he will be loaned out again next season or if coach Niko Kovacs will want to keep him in the squad. The Club World Cup could be a good test for him if Coulibaly gets the opportunity to feature in the upcoming matches.

Mixed season in Brest Coulibaly appeared in 16 matches across all competitions for Brest during the 2024-25 season, providing one assist.

Impact Coulibaly's integration into the Brest team has been fast since he earned a regular starting role early in the season while being on loan from Borussia Dortmund. He has been one, if not the best, defender in the backline when available and playing, but the defender missed more than half of the season due to injuries, making his season a bit disappointing. He will head back for the Black and Yellows after his loan spell and will hope to come back fit for the preseason.
