Former Barcelona and Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure is set for his first managerial role at Slovan Bratislava after joining the Slovak champion on a three-year contract on Saturday.
Ivory Coast’s Toure, 43, spent the last two-and-a-half years as an assistant coach at the Saudi Arabia national team, helping it qualify for its third straight World Cup.
Toure will replace Vladimir Weiss, who led Slovan to six straight Slovak First Football League titles before taking charge of the Slovakia national team.
“My predecessor deserves great respect for what he’s achieved with Slovan. I want to build on that while also bringing something new and unique of my own,” Toure said in a statement.
“With Slovan, I want to play dominant soccer, win games, and control matches so that we can delight our fans.”
Slovan have won the league in the last eight seasons in a row.
