Timeline
In September 2005, he signed a new three-year contract, reflecting his value to the squad despite not having been a first-choice player at any time since his injury in 2002. Restored to the starting lineup as a replacement for Mario Melchiot, his determination and enthusiasm, typified in a man-of-the-match performance against Chelsea, did much to lift the team and supporters during their ultimately unsuccessful fight against relegation. He began the 2006–07 season in the starting eleven, but Radhi Jaïdi, Bruno Ngotty, Martin Taylor and Stephen Kelly were all preferred, and Tébily made his final first-team appearance for Birmingham in October 2006. His contract, which was due to expire at the end of the season, was paid up on 14 January 2008, and he became a free agent after nearly six years at the club.
After a period spent training with them, Tébily signed for Major League Soccer team Toronto FC on 24 April 2008. Head coach John Carver believed his team would be improved by the player's versatility, as shown by his ability to play both in the centre of defence and on the right. He played four matches for the club, but an ankle injury disrupted his career, and he was released on 31 July 2008 because he wanted to be closer to his family in France.
Returning fit at the start of the 2003–04 Premier League season, Tébily found himself no longer first choice, though his versatility made him the manager's preferred defensive substitute. For the next couple of years, he was used irregularly. Coach Mark Bowen cited a lack of confidence, and a long-standing problem with concentration, as leading to inconsistency of performance; though the player's own determination to combat the problem led him to encourage the coaching staff to keep shouting at him during the game to maintain his concentration levels. In addition, he underwent laser eye surgery to deal with the problems caused by wearing contact lenses for football. He sometimes struggled badly against quick, tricky players, but always gave of his best when given an opportunity.
Tébily wanted to play regularly, which was not going to happen at Celtic, so it was considered best for all parties if he was made available for transfer. On 22 March 2002, he resumed his association with manager Steve Bruce when he moved to Birmingham City, then playing in the Championship, for a fee of £700,000. Celtic clearly thought he had potential for improvement, as they had a sell-on clause included in the deal. He had scored twice during his spell at Celtic, once in a UEFA Cup tie with Cwmbran Town and another in the 8–0 thrashing of Stirling Albion in the League Cup.
He held down a regular starting spot until Christmas, when he joined up with the Ivory Coast national team for the 2000 African Cup of Nations. His return from his country's unsuccessful campaign was delayed when the squad was detained in a military camp in the Ivory Coast, described by the authorities as a necessary move to ensure the players' safety in light of the public reaction to their failure to reach the knockout stage of the competition. Tébily and the remainder of the squad were able to make their way home following intervention from FIFA president Sepp Blatter.
In the 2000–01 season, new manager Martin O'Neill gave him only three first-team starts. He began the next season in the first team and playing well, but lost his place once Bobo Baldé regained fitness. He still made enough appearances to qualify for an SPL winners' medal and received an unlikely nomination for the 2001 African Footballer of the Year award.
His Sheffield United career proved brief. His seventh game for the club was watched by Kenny Dalglish, and on Dalglish's appointment as Director of Football at Celtic in June 1999, he was quick to bring Tébily to the club for a fee of £1.25 million. On 8 July, he became manager John Barnes' third signing.
Tébily was born in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, and raised in France. As a child, he was an Arsenal fan. He became a naturalised French citizen, and began his career as a junior at Ligue 2 Niort, where he spent several years. In January 1998, he moved to Châteauroux, promoted that season to Ligue 1. While his contribution failed to prevent their relegation, it clearly attracted favourable attention, because the following March, Steve Bruce signed him for English club Sheffield United for a fee of £200,000.
According to RSSSF, Tébily represented the France national under-21 football team ("Les Espoirs") at the 1997 Mediterranean Games, being sent off in a 3–0 defeat by Greece. However Le Télégramme reported that Tébily had been withdrawn from the squad on the eve of the tournament, to be replaced by Stéphane Pichot of Laval.
