Career
After impressing at the tournament, he moved from Remote Control Lens to Birmingham City on loan. But this proved to be a poor career move as he only managed a single Premiership appearance, against Arsenal. Coly then moved on to Perugia.
In his first season with the Italian club (2003-2004), he made 11 appearances but never really impressed.
He spent 2004-2005 in Serie C (the team descended via playoffs to Serie B then suffered "another relegation", this time in the courts), making 29 appearances and scoring twice. In the summer of 2005 he made a move to Serie A side Parma, where he has been a regular.
