While Patrick Vieira missed out on the job as Arsenal ‘s manager to Unai Emeri, he could still end up one day at the helm of the club where he made a name for himself. At least if you ask his former Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger.

Wenger recently spoke with Canal Football Club about Vieira’s rise as a coach and stated that he thinks he is destined to coach Arsenal one day.

“I see him as the Arsenal coach one day because I think he is too young to go directly into international football,” – said Wenger. “I think his life will go through club football. He has constructed his career intelligently and patiently.”

“He left when he was young, he went to New York, he is now in Nice, and he has taken time to mature and learn his profession,” – he added. “And something you can’t give: he has a natural charisma, he is both elegant and authoritative.”

Patrick Vieira played with Arsenal for almost 10 years and managed to win several trophies with the team including three Premier League titles. He also played with Juventus, Inter Milan, and Manchester City before retiring in 2011.

Vieira started his coaching career with Man City’s youth ranks before taking over MLS side NYFC in 2016. He spent three years in MLS compiling the 40-22-28 record.

Vieira took over French Ligue 1 club Nice in June 2018 and is currently doing a solid job as the team sits on the eighth spot in the league.

New York City FC coach Patrick Vieira is continuing to attract interest from European soccer teams. France’s Nantes is now looking to bring Vieira for the next season after they parted ways with former Leicester manager Claudio Ranieri.

Nantes president Waldemar Kita spoke with L’Equipe on Thursday and said that the team is already looking for Ranieri’s replacement with Patrick Vieira being one of the candidates for the job. Kita also said that the team doesn’t have a preference and just wants to bring in a good coach.

“We’re thinking about everyone,” – he added confirming that he already had talks with former Bordeaux coach Jocelyn Gourvennec and Catalonia coach Gerard Lopez.

Nantes decided to part ways with Claudio Ranieri, although the 66-year-old took over the team last season and had one year left on his contract. After a good start of the season, Nantes fell into a slump and will finish in the middle of the table, missing out on European competitions one again.

Patrick Vieira was recently linked with his former club Arsenal and was reportedly considered as one of the candidates to replace the departing manager Arsene Wenger. Still, it looks like Arsenal will turn to their other former player, Mikel Arteta, who currently serves as an assistant with Manchester City.

Vieira recently discussed the reports that linked him with Arsenal job, saying that it would be an honor for him but also said that he is ready to coach any side in Europe.

“It’s an honor to be mentioned with Arsenal,” – said Vieira. “It was somewhere I spent nine years and I love the club. I played my best football there and made my name in the game. I am always going to have a deeper relationship with Arsenal. That [alone] is not enough to coach that team, but I’m ready to coach any side in Europe.“

Patrick Vieira is doing a great job with New York City FC, leading the team to the top of the MLS standings so far in the 2018 season. Vieira’s success with NYCFC has now caught the attention of English side Arsenal, who see the 41-year old as an ideal replacement for the departing Arsene Wenger.

It turns out that Vieira, who played for Arsenal from 1996 to 2005, also thinks that it might be time to continue his coaching career in Europe.

“It’s an honour to be mentioned with Arsenal,” Vieira said. “It was somewhere I spent nine years and I love the club. I played my best football there and made my name in the game. I am always going to have a deeper relationship with Arsenal. That [alone] is not enough to coach that team, but I’m ready to coach any side in Europe.”

Since being appointed as NYCFC’s coach in 2016, Patrick Vieira has managed to improve the team’s record in each season. After finishing 14th in 2015, NYCFC climbed to 4th in Vieira’s first season in 2016 and then finished 2nd in 2017.

Despite feeling ready to coach in Europe, Vieira isn’t sure whether he would be ready to leave MLS in the middle of the season.

“If the call came, it would be really difficult,” – he said. “It would be difficult because we will be in the middle of the season. And, like every time I’ve been approached by any teams, I’m sitting with the guys from the [City Football Group] and will let them know. They will make the decision because I’m under contract.“

Reportedly, Patrick Vieira is a bit of a longshot to get the Arsenal job, with the team considering more experienced candidates like Luis Enrique, Massimiliano Allegri, and Leonardo Jardim.
