Yaya Toure is reportedly set to take his first coaching role at Ukrainian side Olimpik Donetsk.
The Ivorian, 37, has enjoyed a trophy-laden career which included spells at Barcelona and Manchester City and he also won 97 caps for the Ivory Coast.
He last played for Qingdao Huanghai in the Chinese Super League, however, according to reports he will start his coaching career in the same country in which he played from 2003 to 2005.
Toure made three appearances for the now-disbanded Metalurh Donetsk, but is now set to join Vicente Gomez's coaching staff at Olimpik Donetsk.
