Since the former Barcelona’s star stopped playing football in 2019, he has been progressively adding to his coaching résumé.
He then joined the Saudi Arabian national team’s backroom staff under Herve Renard and later assisted at Standard Liège, Olimpik Donetsk, and Akhmat Grozny.
In addition, he got better at teaching young people in 2022 when he was in charge of Tottenham Hotspur’s U-16s under Antonio Conte.
Having starred at Barcelona, Monaco, and Olympiacos, Toure then made time to obtain his coaching credentials after a season with China’s Qingdao Hainiu.
Moreso, working across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East has given him a fresh tactical edge as he takes on his first big managerial challenge.
Owned by Crystal Palace stakeholder John Textor, Daring Brussels is determined to climb back into Belgium’s top flight.
Consequently, Toure’s mix of global experience and new coaching ideas fits perfectly with the club’s bold growth plan.
This appointment also marks a landmark moment for African coaches.
Therefore, Yaya Toure’s first managerial job could motivate other former African greats to chase top-level coaching gigs in Europe, turning their playing fame into success on the touchline.
