Kalidou Coulibaly Yero (born 19 August 1991) is a Senegalese professional footballer who plays for Portuguese club U.D. Oliveirense as a striker.

Club career

Born in Dakar, Yero made his debuts as a senior with FC Istres, then signed with F.C. Porto in 2009 to complete his formation. During his spell he was loaned twice, and also appeared in three competitive games with the club, totalling 57 minutes of play between the Portuguese Cup and the Portuguese League Cup.

In the 2011 summer Yero joined Gil Vicente FC, his maiden appearance in Primeira Liga occurring on 24 October as he came on as a late substitute in a 1–6 away loss against Sporting Clube de Portugal.[1] Two years later he moved to U.D.
