Yaya Toure moves to Ukraine to continue coaching journey

Former Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure has joined Ukrainian club Olympic Donetsk to continue his coaching journey.

Toure began learning for his coaching badges in 2020 with Queens Park Rangers under Chris Ramsey after leaving Chinese club Qingdao Huanghai, he confirmed on Coaches Voice.

He has now returned to Ukraine where he played for Metalurh Donetsk at the beginning of his career to continue earning his badges.

“It’s great to be back in the Ukraine to continue my coaching journey. Thank you to Olympic Donetsk for the wonderful welcome,” he said on Twitter.

“I’m looking forward to passing on my knowledge, helping the team and also continuing my learning here.”

The four time African footballer of the year also played at Barcelona during a successful career and learned under Pep Guardiola who he said tipped him for coaching.
