Yaya Toure has made history by becoming the first African coach to lead a club into the UEFA Champions League league phase. The former Ivory Coast international achieved this milestone with Slovak champions Slovan Bratislava, who secured their place in the competition after defeating Slovenian side NK Celje 2-1 after extra time in the second leg of their final qualifying tie.
This marks Toure's first senior managerial position, and his achievement surpasses the previous milestone reached by Nigerian coach Ndubuisi Egbo, who led Albanian side KF Tirana into the Champions League qualifying rounds in 2020 but did not take the club into the main competition.
