Djibril Sidibé, with a rich experience, returns to the traces of his past this Saturday, after joining Toulouse FC. The 32-year-old French international has had a successful career, starting in Troyes before winning the LOSC between 2012 and 2016. His combativity and reliability earned him special recognition among the Lille fans, thanks in particular to a memorable goal on direct free kick in the final of the League Cup. Following this period, he shone in Monaco, winning the French championship and participating in the 2018 World Cup, where he contributed to the victory of the French team.
After a visit to Everton and a period at AEK Athens where he won the Greek championship and cup, Djibril Sidibé joined the Toulouse FC in August 2024 to replace Mikkel Desler. His arrival, considered a surprise, quickly aroused the enthusiasm of the supporters, despite questions about his physical condition. He quickly established himself as a holder, bringing his reliability to the Toulausian defence and successfully adapting to a new role as axial defender.
Despite an injury to the Achilles tendon, which took him away from the grounds, Sidibé enjoyed great popularity among Toulouse fans, who appreciated his commitment and collective spirit. His contract was automatically extended, formalizing his retention in the club for an additional season. His career, marked by contrasting colours, now sees him return to the LOSC in a context of twenty-ninth day of Ligue 1, sparking a strong emotion among supporters.
