Yaya Toure is the latest big name to head to Saudi Arabia as he links up with his former Man City boss Roberto Mancini as assistant coach of the national team - after leaving role with Belgian side Standard Liege

Yaya Toure has joined Saudi Arabia as an assistant coach, linking up with his former Man City boss Roberto Mancini.

Toure - who retired from playing in 2019 - has left the equivalent role with Belgian side Standard Liege despite only joining in June of this year.

Mancini spent four years as City manager from 2009 to 2013, helping the club to win their first Premier League title in 2011-12.

He signed Toure from Barcelona in 2010 and the former Ivory Coast star went onto become a legend with the club as he won three Premier League titles and four other trophies during eight seasons at the Etihad.
