New Wigan Athletic boss Kolo Toure revealed that each of his former managers predicted he was destined to become a No 1.
Toure’s first step into management is the tough task of preserving Wigan’s status in the Championship, which starts at Millwall on Saturday.
The 41-year-old, who played under Arsene Wenger at Arsenal and Roberto Mancini at Manchester City, has spent the last five seasons learning his coaching trade by assisting Brendan Rodgers at Celtic and Leicester.
‘It’s strange but every manager I’ve worked with, they all told me, “You’re going to be a manager one day”.
