The appointment, confirmed by the Slovakian champions on Saturday, represents a significant career milestone for the 43 year-old. After spending the years following his 2019 retirement cultivating his credentials through various assistant roles and youth development programs, Touré now takes full command of a first-team squad for the first time.
The move signals a high-profile shift for Slovan Bratislava as they look to build on their domestic dominance heading into the new season.
