Yaya Touré, the head coach of Slovakian club Slovan Bratislava, has become the first African coach to qualify a team for the league phase of the UEFA Champions League. This achievement came after Slovan Bratislava secured a 2-1 win over Celje in extra time of a play-off tie on Wednesday night, advancing to the league phase with a 3-2 aggregate victory.
Touré, who was appointed as Slovan's manager in July on a three-year contract, marked his first managerial role with this historic accomplishment. While Nigeria's Ndubuisi Egbo previously made history in 2020 as the first African to manage a club in the Champions League, his team, KF Tirana, did not progress beyond the play-off stage.
