The former Manchester City great ended his illustrious playing career in 2020, leaving behind a slew of awards.
Toure has recently moved into the coaching ranks and appears to have a bright future as a manager one day.
Last season, the Ivorian spent time at Tottenham Hotspur while working on his coaching credentials. He then chose to remain in North London as Under-16s coach.
Yaya Toure, on the other hand, has always wanted to rise through the ranks of the footballing hierarchy. He turned down an offer to become Wigan manager (Mike Minay) last year.
Toure recently revealed that, despite enjoying his time with Spurs, he was searching for a ‘fresh challenge’ (The Times).
Toure has accepted a role with Belgian club Standard Liege, which was originally published by journalist Sacha Tavolieri. The 40-year-old will now depart Tottenham.
“I am delighted to share that I will be taking on the role of Assistant Coach at Standard Liege,” Toure tweeted. It’s an honor to be a part of the club, and I’m excited to work with Head Coach Carl Hoefkens! Let’s get started.”
“I would like to thank everyone at the Tottenham Hotspur academy for their support in the 18 months I spent with the club,” Toure said of his time at Spurs. Dean Rastrick, Chris Powell, and all the young players deserve extra media attention. Thank you very much.”
