Djibril Sidibé Joins Le Mans FC After Leaving Toulouse FC
Djibril Sidibé (34) has signed with newly promoted Ligue 1 team Le Mans FC after his contract with Toulouse FC came to an end.
The 2018 FIFA World Cup champion with France had been a free agent since the beginning of the summer, following the conclusion of his tenure at Le TéFéCé. The experienced full-back has patiently searched for a new club and has now agreed to a two-year deal, which includes an option for an additional year, with Le Mans, who recently returned to France’s top division after being promoted from Ligue 2 last season.

This marks the fifth club in Ligue 1 for the former international, following stints at Toulouse, ESTAC Troyes, AS Monaco, and Lille OSC. It is uncertain whether he will be ready to take part in Le Mans’ Ligue 1 opener at home against Stade Brestois this Saturday.
