FIFA Club World Cup: Manchester City have confirmed the permanent appointment of Kolo Toure to Pep Guardiola’s backroom staff. After performing the role of first team assistant coach during the Club’s FIFA Club World Cup campaign this summer, the 44-year-old will remain in the position on a full-time basis.

It comes after the Ivorian – who helped both Arsenal and City to Premier League success during an illustrious playing career - enjoyed a hugely successful season serving as Assistant Lead Coach with City’s Under-18s last term.

Working alongside Lead Coach Oliver Reiss, the former Ivory Coast defender helped pilot the City youngsters to the Premier League Under-18 North title, our Under-18s then narrowly edged out 1-0 at Aston Villa in the National final.
