Yaya Toure has revealed he is happy that Laszlo Boloni has been sacked by Monaco.

The Ivory Coast international did not enjoy the most harmonious of relationships with Boloni, who was dismissed on Monday.

The midfielder is thankful the Romanian tactician has left Stade Louis II and is hoping for an improvement under caretaker coach Laurent Banide.

"A page has been turned," Toure told L'Equipe. "The coaching job is hard, but I had a bad relationship with Boloni.

"A coach is a man that has to show the right way. He has shown discrimination between players. I can't accept that. With Laurent Banide, it is going to be better.

"I asked him (Boloni) to play me in my position and that made him laugh! He even told other players I wasn't part of his plans.

"I have a status, I am an international and I do my job normally. For me, Boloni's departure is a big satisfaction, it is logical. I was more than fed up.

"I think that I will recover my position. We are going to fight because Monaco can't stay in the red zone."

Meanwhile, Monaco chairman Michel Pastor dismissed suggestions that he will follow Boloni out of the door.

Pastor said: "It is a decision I made late on Sunday night. We could not go on that way.

"The ranking and the football played are not worthy of Monaco, so we absolutely had to do something.

"Is he responsible? I don't want to attack the man, but sometimes it doesn't work so well.

"That failure doesn't question anything in the club's organisation and politics. Despite the results, I don't want to give up my job."
