The year-old, who started basic coaching experience in England , is now expected to assist Ihor Klymovskyi in the dugout and he has followed a similar path as his brother Kolo who is an assistant to Brendan Rodgers at Leicester City.
Toure is not new in Donetsk, having previously spent two years in Ukraine with defunct club Metalurh Donetsk. Now I am here to start my coaching path. Yaya kept to himself at all times. He told everyone he was okay playing with bare legs. His first pair of football shoes finally came at the age of While using bare legs, many spectators observed he had pure natural talent. Back in the days, street football was on the rise in Ivory Coast.
He played with friends and family in the streets of Abidjan. Toure worked on his skills for three years before joining his Ivorian side ASEC Mimosas youth academy at the age of He worked his way through the ranks at the popular club which is known to have produced the likes of Didier Zokora, Emmanuel Eboue, Gervinho and Salomon Kalou.
At this stage, he was more determined to succeed. He believed his family poverty was man-made and can be removed by him and his brother. He was fearless in the pursuit of what sets his soul on fire. Good for him, his early determination paid off. Yaya Toure, thou very young at that time was part of a popular Ivorian football movement to Europe in the year Till date, he owed special thanks to Jean-Marc Guillou The white man above who helped his country by initiating a massive movement of 14 best performing Ivorian footballers to a particular Belgian club, Beveren.
He was one of the footballers that arrived late in Europe among 13 of his other colleagues. Upon his arrival, his Beveren teammates from Ivory Coast was quick to remember him as the popular wonderkid who once had no soccer shoes. Two years after joining Belgian side Beveren, the year-old Toure had a trial with Arsenal. Kolo was already there at that time. Arsene Wenger decision to accept him relied on his performance on his first preseason game with his then-current club.
That time finally came. Yaya played in a pre-season friendly against Barnet and missed a good chance. However, Arsenal did try and sign him but were unable to get work permit. Fueled with frustration, Toure then decided to join Ukrainian club Metalurh Donetsk where he stayed for a year and a half before being watched by bigger clubs. In his time at the Belgian club, he played 70 times and scored three goals. As stated, he became unsettled after his dream move to Arsenal became a disappointment.
For Yaya, joining Metalurh Donetsk was a perfect plan. His movement to the Ukrainian team was the beginning of what was termed, a great European football journey. After a short spell at Ukraine, Greek side Olympiakos took a chance on him.
Positioned alongside Rivaldo in midfield, Yaya excelled as the team won the domestic double. A Champions League debut — earning an assist for a Rivaldo strike — followed by a maiden World Cup appearance in Soon Olympiakos were struggling to hold onto their young star especially after his world cup performance.
It was not until new manager Laurent Banide came in that the fans got to see the best of Yaya Toure. He can do just about anything. Once again he only stayed for a season and moved onto bigger things in Spain. He first played in the defensive midfield role for Barca. At some point, his attacking runs became limited and after being forced out of the team by Sergio Busquets.
This led him to start playing as a centre back role as observed in the Champions League final.
