Cote d’Ivoire, Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City defender, Kolo Toure has been appointed as an assistant coach to the Ivory Coast national team.
He will work under ex-Belgium coach Marc Wilmots, the Ivorian Football Federation (FIF) has announced.
The posting comes soon after the 36-year-old, who retired from playing in the summer, took up a role on the backroom staff of his last club Celtic.
Toure won the African Nations Cup as a player for the Ivory Coast in 2015. Toure’s brother Yaya, the Manchester City midfielder, tweeted: “Very happy to see my big bro Kolo is Cote d’Ivoire assistant coach. Excellent.”
