Slovakia: Yaya Touré's Slovan leads the league

Yaya Touré is off to a flying start this season at the helm of Slovan Bratislava. This afternoon, the Sky Blues trounced Ruzomberok 5-0, solidifying their position atop the Niké Liga.

Yaya Touré's Slovan is a juggernaut

With this emphatic victory, Slovan remains at the summit of the Slovak championship with 9 points from 3 matches—one fewer game than the team in second place. It's a flawless start for the Ivorian legend as he embarks on his first experience as a head coach.

The numbers speak for themselves. After 3 matches under Yaya Touré, Bratislava boasts 3 wins, 12 goals scored, and 0 conceded—a team dominating on both sides of the pitch. Rock-solid at the back and ruthless going forward, this Slovan side under Touré leaves nothing to their opponents.

Eyes on the Champions League

The next big test is just around the corner. On August 19, Slovan will host Celje, the Slovenian champions, for the first leg of the final qualifying round of the Champions League playoffs. Europe is within reach for the Bratislava club. After such a blistering league start and two previous qualifying rounds negotiated with style, confidence is sky-high in the squad.

For his first season in charge of Slovan, Yaya Touré seems to have found the winning formula. Now, the focus shifts to the European stage before continuing their relentless march through the league.
