Yaya Toure ends football career

By Promise Amadi

Yaya Toure has officially ended his football career.

The Ivorian footballer disclosed his retirement this through his agent, Dimitri Seluk.

Seluk speaking during an interview in Russia said:

“I say this for the first time: Yaya decided to end his career as a champion.

“The farewell match, when he won the Premier League title with Manchester City was, in principle, the real end of his playing career. Not only in this team, but in general.”

“Yaya is one of the best players in Africa and he had one of the brightest careers in the history of African football.

“Therefore, he should also leave football beautifully, at the peak. We talked for a long time on this topic.”
