Agent: Yaya wants Man City coaching job assurance

The agent of Yaya Toure says he wants to be assured of a future coaching role at Manchester City.

After this week's birthday party complaints, in an interview with Sky Sports News broadcast on Thursday morning Dimitry Seluk claimed Toure would be more than happy to stay should he be promised a coaching position or sporting director's role beyond his retirement.

Seluk said: "Of course. Like Real Madrid did with (Zinedine) Zidane for example. Zidane played then after that he started working for the club.

"Yaya needs the club in the future.

"We don't want any more pounds, not a longer contract, nothing like this, only really attention.

"More attention (paid) to Yaya and Yaya must feel happy at the club - that's the main thing.

"I'll tell you one more time, we don't need one more pound in the contract."
