Four-time African Footballer of the Year Yaya Toure was delighted to meet former Chelsea and LA Galaxy manager Ruud Gullit at the 2018 Fifa World Cup.
The Cote d’Ivoire international was in Russia as a pundit for a sports television channel, after his country failed to qualify from their qualification group, at the expense of Morocco.
Toure got over the disappointment by having a great time at the quadrennial showpiece with some football legends.
And brilliant bumping into these legends today!!! Amazing players 🙌🏾 pic.twitter.com/7ZNM9ITGUo

In 2012, former Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini likened the midfield maestro to Gullit who won the Ballon d’Or in 1987and led Netherlands to Euro 1988 triumph as a captain.
During his stay in Russia, the African legend worked with Egypt legend Mohamed Aboutrika and former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger in the studio.
Time to head home! ✈️
