Manager Brenda Rodger said on the club’s website "This is great news for Celtic that we are able to bring a man of Toure’s experience into our coaching team."

"In everything he does, he is quite simply a fantastic example to anyone. He has worked at the top of the game for so many years and he has all the qualities which any player of any age should aspire to."

Toure made a statement saying "I couldn't be happier to be back at this great club, This is a new chapter in my career, a new beginning. The football is over now. I can officially say I am retired from playing and now I am fully concentrating on coaching."
