It's not official yet, but "The Athletic" journalist David Ornstein reports that Crystal Palace will appoint Patrice Vieira as their new manager in the near future. The French P. Vieira was one of the best footballers of his generation as a player, achieving a lot with teams like Arsenal and Inter, as well as winning a lot with the French national team. Former midfielder has been working as a coach for some time. He started his career in the United States, where he coached New York City, and then led Nice for two seasons in France. An agreement has already been reached between Crystal Palace and Patrice Vieira. Now it only remains to finalize matters with the work permit and everything will be officially announced, says David Ornstein. Previously, there was a short distance to appoint Lucien Favre or Nuno Espirito Santo as their new manager, but ultimately they did not succeed. Now it seems that the new coach will indeed be P. Vieira.
