Former Arsenal defender Emmanuel Eboue believes Yaya Toure is capable of managing a Premier League club one day. The ex-Côte d'Ivoire international praises his former teammate's early forays into coaching.
Toure began his coaching career at Donetsk's Olimpik and then moved on to Ahmed, where he served as an assistant coach. He later worked at Tottenham, focusing on academy teams.
His coaching journey then took him to Standard, and later, to Saudi Arabia, and he is currently at the helm of Bratislava's Slovan, having replaced Vladimir Weiss earlier this year.
Toure has expressed a desire to see his team dominant on the pitch, controlling matches and playing to win. Eboue believes that this approach could pave the way for his former teammate to secure a role in England in the future.
"Why not? Maybe one day Yaya will be there. Everyone in Côte d'Ivoire is very proud of what he is doing. Yaya is my friend, and we talk sometimes. I believe that one day he can return to England as a coach because he is doing very well right now," Eboue remarked in an interview with LiveFootballTickets.
Currently, the closest Yaya's brother, Kolo Toure, has come to a role in the English top flight was during his brief stint managing Wigan in the Championship, where he was dismissed after nine matches without a win.
As Yaya Toure continues his work at Slovan, the prospect of him joining the Premier League remains a long-term ambition.
