Yaya Toure handed a full-time coaching role in Tottenham's academy.

 

Former Barcelona and Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure has reportedly been handed a full-time coaching position in Tottenham's academy. 


The 39-year-old has been working at Spurs on a part-time basis for the last eight months as he works towards his UEFA A Licence. 

The role, according to Sport Mail, suits Toure as he lives with his family in Hampstead, near to the club's Hotspur Way training ground. 


According to the Evening Standard, the Ivorian will be handed his own age-group team to manage as part of an academy coaching shake-up at Spurs. 

It will be his first permanent coaching position in England, having held assistant manager roles at Ukrainian club Olimpik Donetsk and Russian side Akhmat Grozny.

Toure has also spent time at QPR, Blackburn and the Welsh FA while working towards his badges since his playing career ended at Chinese club Qingdao Huanghai in 2020. 

'Sitting in an office the whole time – that’s not me,' he told The Coaches' Voice last year.


I want to be out on the grass, interacting with other people, exchanging ideas.'


The Evening Standard also report that former Tottenham striker Jermain Defoe is joining the club's youth set-up too and will take on an age-group team much like Toure.

The 39-year-old, who scored 143 goals in 362 games for Spurs across three different spells, announced his retirement from playing in March. He previously held a player-coach role under Steven Gerrard at Rangers.

Chechnya leader makes Mo Salah honorary citizen

Chechnya leader Ramzan Kadyrov has made Egypt’s talismanic striker Mohamed Salah an honorary citizen of the southern Russian region at a farewell banquet held for the eliminated World Cup side. Rights groups and Western governments allege that authorities in Chechnya repress their political opponents, discriminate against women and persecute sexual minorities, all allegations that Chechnya’s leaders deny. Chechnya has been hosting the Egyptian team’s World Cup training camp and Kremlin-backed Kadyrov has seized on opportunities to appear alongside Salah. Sarah’s goalscoring exploits for Liverpool and Egypt have made him an international superstar. “Mohamed Salah is an honorary citizen of the Chechen Republic. “Yes, that’s right!

Oil prices rise amidst uncertainty over Libyan crude exports

The United States West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures were at 68.33 dollars a barrel, up 25 cents, or 0.4 per cent. Traders said prices were mostly driven higher by uncertainty around oil exports by Libya, a member of the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).

The official state-owned oil company based in the capital Tripoli, also called NOC, will not be allowed to handle that oil anymore, he said.
