Créteil kept him eight years and 149 matches before Nice took him to Ligue 1 at twenty-six, where a centre-back of 1.92m still played his way out of trouble with a stepover. The 2010 Coupe de France with Paris Saint-Germain is his major medal, won off the bench against Monaco, ahead of a losing final in 2011, a League Cup final with Nice, and twenty Mali caps taking in the 2004 Africa Cup of Nations, where Mali finished fourth. Career record: 20 caps and 1 goals for Mali; club career at OGC Nice, Paris Saint-Germain, AJ Auxerre.
