Manchester City legend Yaya Toure is ready for the next chapter of his coaching career.

The former Ivory Coast midfielder has been working at Tottenham with the club's Under-16s side.

While Toure is enjoying the role at Spurs, he does believe that it may be time for progression.

When I retired, I felt devastated," he told The Times.

I couldn't accept leaving football, but I didn't have a clue about where to go or what to do. But I wanted to give something back to football.

After [starting coaching at Spurs], I fell in love [with football] again."

He added: I love doing what I'm doing at Tottenham and what I can carry on giving to them, but now I feel like I'm looking for a new challenge. I dream to one day be a manager.

We never know in life, maybe I'll meet Man City one day again."
