Yaya Touré, former Manchester City and Ivory Coast star, is set to become the first African coach to lead a team in the UEFA Champions League when his side Slovan Bratislava faces Paris Saint-Germain. Touré, who won the Champions League as a player in 2009, took over as coach of the Slovak champions in July and led them through three qualifying rounds to secure a spot in the group stage. He sees his achievement as a sign of changing perceptions towards African coaches and hopes it will usher in a new era in football.
