Kolo Toure is back in the English Premier League after being confirmed as first team coach at Leicester City.
The Ivorian moves from Celtic alongside new Foxes manager Brendan Rodgers.
The pair have formed a successful coaching partnership since joining forces in September 2017, winning the Scottish domestic treble last season.
Toure, who won over 100 caps for Ivory Coast, has two Premier League titles to his name as a player for Arsenal and Manchester City.
He also won the African Cup of Nations in 2015, scoring a penalty in the Elephants' shootout win over Ghana.
Last year, he worked as part of the national team's coaching staff at the World Cup in Russia.

Kolo can't coach. People tend to think that if you're a great player you'll be a good coach. Good luck either way

Arsenal invincible Kolo Toure is the new head coach at Leicester under Brendan Rodgers. He played under Rodgers who has clearly seen some qualities in Kolo that have really impressed him. Wishing him every success.

Funny thing, Yaya (pronounced as yayA and not yAya) means grandma in Greek. Kolo on the other hand (or kolos) means ass. Yup.
