The Ivorian played for Manchester City for eight seasons but left the Etihad Stadium on poor terms.<\/p>\n

The former Ivory Coast international is now trying to mend bridges with Guardiola and other City officials.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat interview was my big, huge mistake,\u201d Toure told the Daily Mail, in reference to his infamous chat with France Football.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you give your trust, your voice to someone, they can twist it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was aware some staff were not happy. I emailed a letter to try to communicate with some important people there to apologise and say I\u2019ve been indecent to the club but I haven\u2019t had any feedback.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want peace. We don\u2019t want this [acrimony] all the time. For the love of the fans, for the love of the club, sometimes things have to be settled the right way. I\u2019ve been in touch with some people there.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
