Former Manchester City star Yaya Toure has set his sights on a prominent managerial role in the Premier League, as he takes a significant step forward in his career by assuming the position of assistant coach at Standard Liege.

At the age of 40, Toure has now joined the coaching staff of Carl Hoefkens at the Belgian club, following a stint coaching Tottenham's Under-16s.

Toure expressed his desire to the Premier League in the future but believed it was the right moment to venture into coaching first-team football in Belgium.
