Former Manchester City player Yaya Touré has criticized his ex-agent, Dimitry Seluk, for commenting on an “African curse” supposedly preventing City and Pep Guardiola from winning the Champions League. Recent reports in the media have quoted Seluk suggesting that Touré has lifted the curse, allowing for City to win the competition.

Touré played a key role in Manchester City’s success from 2010 to 2018, helping the team secure three Premier League titles and earning the club’s actor of the season award in the 2013/14 season, which cemented his status as one of the best midfielders of his time. However, Touré has distanced himself from Seluk’s remarks and condemned the agent for perpetuating “lazy stereotypes about African curses.” On Twitter, he urged the media to move on from this harmful rhetoric and stated that Seluk does not represent him.
