Yaya Touré therefore left Standard this weekend. The Ivorian is heading to Saudi Arabia with immediate effect.
Carl Hoefkens, Standard’s head coach, reacts alongside goalkeeper Arnaud Bodart to the departure of assistant coach Yaya Touré. Hoefkens highlights the positive way the head coach collaborated with Touré, but Bodart noticed a certain distance between Touré and the playing group. Touré chose to work as an assistant coach for the Saudi Arabian national team.
Hoefkens talks about Touré’s departure from Standard. “We talked a lot and when Yaya told me that it was an offer he couldn’t refuse, I didn’t insist. Above all his way of dealing and speaking with young people was excellent. We part ways on good terms”, quotes Het Laatste Nieuws.
Goalkeeper Bodart was also asked what he will remember from Touré’s move to Standard. The guard had positive opinions about the person, but also noted one area for improvement. “That he was always a nice man, but as a coach, he often stood too aside,” Bodart concludes.
