Yaya Toure Retires From International Football As Guardiola Says No Place For Him In Man City

Yaya Toure has announced his international retirement from Ivory Coast duty after a 12-year career in which he won 102 caps. Toure, 33, was the captain of his national team and led the country to their second-ever African Nations Cup title in 2015. The Manchester City midfielder was expected to skipper the team in Gabon in January as he began the defence of their crown, but he has instead chosen to quit international football. Meanwhile, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola says he will not pick Yaya Toure until he apologises to the club and his team-mates for comments made by his agent. His agent, Dimitri Seluk, said the midfielder had been “humiliated” and Guardiola should apologise to him if City do not win the competition. Guardiola said: “He must apologise. If he doesn’t, he won’t play.”
