Former Manchester City and Barcelona midfielder, Yaya Toure has announced his retirement from football.
His agent, Dimitri Seluk who spoke with Sport 24, said the Ivorian former captain, will go enter into coaching and management after quitting football at end of the season.
” I say this for the first time, Yaya decided to end his career as a champion” Seluk said.
” The farewell match, when he won the premier league title with Manchester City was, in principle, the real end of his playing career. Not only in this team, but in general”
“Yaya is one of the best players and he had one of the brightest careers in the history of African football” Seluk stated.
” Therefore he should also leave football beautifully, at the peak . We talked for a long time on this topic.
” Of course, every footballer wants to play for as long as possible. In terms of his physical challenge, Yaya could do this at a sufficiently high level for another five years
