Wigan job won't tempt Yaya Toure away from Tottenham

Yaya Toure is happy with his role as Tottenham youth coach.

The Manchester City legend joined as Tottenham's head coach at Under-16s level.

But it followed a part-time role for the previous eight months at Spurs while he worked towards his Uefa A licence.

Toure is well settled in the area - possibly one factor why he's happy to remain there, for now at least.

Journalist Mike Minay has suggested Wigan were "attracted" to the idea of the ex-Monaco star succeeding Leam Richardson, who was sacked as manager last week.

But Minay believes Toure "doesn't wish to be considered" for the position.
