YAYA TOURE admits Roberto Mancini’s new five-year deal has given the Manchester City squad a timely boost ahead of their Premier League defence.
The Italian ended any exit fears on Monday when he committed himself to be City boss until at least 2017.
And Toure believes that will give the club the stability they need to build on last year’s title triumph.
The Ivorian said: “I was very happy to hear the news that our manager has signed a new five-year deal yesterday.
“It is important for this club to have stability at all levels, especially after we have just won the title and the FA Cup the season before.
“It means there will be no changes or disruption to what has proved a winning formula and for the long term, that can only be good for Manchester City.
“Now the manager can continue to build this club and plan for the future — let’s not forget Sir Alex Ferguson has been at Manchester United for 25 years and they haven’t done too badly over the years.”
