Toure had to get out of Manchester City because manager Pep Guardiola
was "killing his career as a footballer."
Toure, after eight years at the Etihad Stadium which delivered three
Premier League titles and domestic cup triumphs, has decided to leave
the club.
Eboue said, "As a player, there is a time you completely cannot work
with a coach and because of your future, you must go.
"It was evident Pep Guardiola did not like my brother Yaya right from
the Barcelona days.
"It is the best decision for Yaya to get away from Guardiola's
territory because he was killing his career as a footballer.
"I think Yaya's last one year has been hell because he was not playing
enough. For a professional footballer, that is very terrible."
Toure accused Guardiola of being "jealous" of him and having a problem
with African players while his agent, Dimitri Seluk, branded the
former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss "worthless".
The Catalan has hit back at what he considers to be "lies", but Eboue
believes there were clearly issues between a high-profile player and
manager and that a parting of ways is best for all concerned.
He added, "Sometimes it's not all about the money.
"When your relationship as a player is not good with the manager and
it does not seem like it will improve, it is always better to move
elsewhere.
"Yaya is a great player and leader and I think he still has some years
to continue playing at the highest level.
"He is the kind of player who can turn things round and he always wants to win."
