Yaya Toure became the first African coach in the history of the Champions League

Yaya Toure made Champions League history by becoming the first African coach to take charge of a team at this stage of the tournament. The Ivorian made his debut in the main European Cup under the leadership of Slovan Bratislava in a match against PSG. For Toure, this is a special moment, because he himself previously played in the Champions League as a footballer. In 2009, together with Barcelona, ​​the Ivorian won the main European Cup, and now he returned to the tournament in a coaching role. The historic debut took place against the background of a very difficult test - Slovan met with the current winner of the Champions League PSG. The French club is one of the main favorites of the tournament and started its title defense against Toure's team.
