Manchester City legend Yaya Toure could be on the verge of holding a coaching position within Tottenham Hotspur. Since December, the 38-year-old has been studying for his coaching badges with Spurs’ under-18 team.
However, it seems the north London club wants Toure to remain in some capacity for them heading into next season. The Evening Standard claims the Manchester City legend is now keen on landing a full-time coaching position as he closes in on his UEFA A license.
Tottenham club chiefs have been impressed by Toure, who had some coaching experience before arriving as he previously worked in Ukraine with Olimpik Donetsk and in Russia at Akhmat Grozny.
As a result, Spurs are reportedly prepared to meet Toure for talks to offer him a full-time job. The report doesn’t detail in what capacity this coaching job would be, whether it’s to remain with the U-18 or perhaps be part of manager Antonio Conte’s squad.
Nonetheless, he does have the player resume to command some respect from the players, will that translate to coaching success remains to be seen.
He couldn’t be arsed the last two or three seasons he played, don’t see him changing much.
