Toure leaves Leicester
Former Arsenal and Manchester City defender Kolo Toure has left his role as a first-team coach at Leicester to become the new boss of Championship outfit Wigan.
Toure, 41, has been part of Brendan Rodgers’ coaching team at the King Power Stadium since 2019, adding experience and a winning mentality that saw him lift numerous trophies during a glittering playing career.
The Latics have been searching for a new manager since dismissing Leam Richardson earlier this month and have now confirmed the former Ivory Coast international’s arrival.
Toure has just under a fortnight to prepare for his managerial debut, which will come on December 10 when his new side take on Millwall at The Den.
Leicester released a statement announcing the departure of the two-time Premier League winner, thanking him for his service to the club.
It read: “Leicester can confirm that first team coach Kolo Toure will leave the club to take up a new position as manager of Championship side Wigan Athletic.
“Everybody at Leicester City would thank Kolo for his contribution during a successful period for the club and wish him the very best as he begins his career in management.”
Page coy on key duo
Rob Page has suggested that Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey could both be used from the bench in Wales’ World Cup clash with England.
The Dragons have so far only picked up one point in their first World Cup campaign for 64 years and are set to be eliminated from the tournament in Qatar unless results go their way this evening.
Both Ramsey and Bale have failed to inspire them to success and Page hinted in his press conference that the pair may not be fit to start against the Three Lions.
He said: “It’s a big ask for anybody in this environment to go four days later.
“I’m going to pick a team that I think can go out and compete against England, whether that’s with or without them. I’m not going to give that away.
“If they don’t start, can they can make an impact? That’s always been my dilemma playing games in quick succession.”
Wales must beat England by four or more goals to outrank them in the group, while any victory will prove enough for second spot should the USA and Iran draw.
