Ivory Coast legend Yaya Touré has revealed why he left his post in Belgium to join the Saudi team.

Yaya Touré, one of the greatest players of all time, has just joined the Saudi team staff. And he is very happy about it.

Yaya Touré happy to find Mancini

The former Man City player was appointed assistant coach to Roberto Mancini, the coach of the Falcons of the Desert. He stated : “Although it was difficult to leave Standard Liège, I knew it was the right thing to do when Roberto asked me if I wanted to join him in Saudi Arabia. I have always admired Roberto. Working with him and learning from him suits me perfectly. »

The pair previously worked together at Manchester City, where they won the Premier League and the FA Cup. Yaya Touré was one of Mancini’s main relays on the pitch.

The immediate deadline for Saudi Arabia is the Asian Cup scheduled for early next year in Qatar. We will then see what the Mancini – Yaya Touré duo has in their stomach.
