Yaya Touré began his tenure as head coach of ŠK Slovan Bratislava with a successful domestic start, leading the team to a 4-0 victory over MFK Dukla Banská Bystrica in their Niké Liga season opener.

However, the momentum shifted during a Champions League play-off match against Slovenian side NK Celje. Following a 1-1 draw, Touré heavily criticized German referee Felix Zwayer, describing the officiating as “very, very negative and really bad.” The manager’s frustration stemmed from a decision by the referee and VAR to deny a late penalty involving attacker Andraž Šporar.
