On 19 August 2011, Koné was loaned again, this time to Serie B club Pescara.[5] He made his debut on club in 26 August 2011, after came off the bench to replace Marco Verratti, on the 45 minute.[6]
Koné was called up to Ivory Coast national football team for the friendly against Israel, in 10 August 2011. He made the Lés Éléphants debut in the match, after came off the bench to replace Yaya Touré on the 46 minute. 22 minutes later, Koné scored his first international goal.[7]
