Arsene Wenger tips Patrick Vieira as ‘potential’ Arsenal boss

Arsene Wenger believes former Arsenal favourite Patrick Vieira has the potential to manage the club in the future.

Reports yesterday claimed the 41-year-old New York City boss has been lined up to replace Wenger should he depart the Emirates Stadium this summer.

Vieira enjoyed a glittering nine-year stint at Arsenal during the peak of his career, lifting three Premier League titles and four FA Cups, as well as captaining Wenger’s side throughout their unbeaten ‘Invincibles’ season of 2003/04.
