Patrick Vieira is ready for the Arsenal job, according to his former Gunners and France compatriot Robert Pires.
According to a report from Goal, the Frenchman believes that the former Gunners midfielder is a suitable replacement for Arsene Wenger.
Arsenal and Vieira, yeah. Should be good, very good. I say again, I think Patrick Vieira is ready for Arsenal. 100 per cent, yes. I think Patrick Vieira is ready, he’s done very well with New York City for three seasons and has a lot of capacity to be Arsenal manager.
Vieira, who is currently managing in the MLS, is being tipped as a potential successor to Wenger. After working within the academy at Manchester City, he has been working at New York City FC since January 2016.
The former midfielder is highly thought of in the game and is earning quite the reputation after taking his first steps into senior management in America.
Wenger recently confirmed that he will step down at the end of the season after 22 years in charge of the club.
Both Vieira and Mikel Arteta are two former players being linked with the job.
Former Barcelona manager Luis Enrique and Napoli boss Maurizio Sarri are also thought to be in the running
