His agent, Dimitri Seluk, announced the news on Twitter this morning, revealing that the ex-Ivory Coast international will now concentrate on his coaching career.
Earlier this year Toure said he had no plans to retire and was simply taking time off from football.
“No one can stop me from playing football, I just decided to take an important time off for myself and it is very important to carefully weigh the options,” Toure claimed in April.

“It’s not the end or retirement from the game because I believe I can still play on for another two or three years,” he added.
During his eight seasons with City, Toure won three Premier League titles, two League Cups and one FA Cup in 2011, where he famously ended City’s 35-year wait for silverware with winners against Manchester United and Stoke in the semi-final and final respectively.

Man City paid tribute to their legendary midfielder on Twitter, highlighting the trophies he won while representing the Etihad Stadium club.
They also made a little joke about the infamous birthday cake story, with City reportedly disrespecting Toure when they didn’t give him a cake to celebrate his 31st birthday back in 2014.
