Yaya Toure is ready to take the next step on his journey to becoming a manager, with Tottenham ready to appoint him as a coach within their academy.
The Ivorian had been with Spurs in a part-time capacity since the end of last year, but the Evening Standard reports he is now in line for a permanent role. Toure has been in coaching since his retirement in 2019 and has held roles with Olimpik Donetsk in Ukraine and then Russian club Akhmat Grozny.
Widely regarded as one of the Premier League ’s greatest ever midfielders, the 39-year-old is now beginning his transition into coaching. During his time with Manchester City, he won three league titles, three League Cups and an FA Cup, leaving a legacy as one the club’s best ever players.
