Arsenal fans react as Vieira weighs in on Emery’s future
Arsenal fans have called on Patrick Vieira to ‘come home’ after he gave his verdict on Unai Emery’s future.
The current OGC Nice boss, who has been touted as a potential replacement for Emery, believes Arsenal need to give the Spaniard time to turn things around.
As cited on social media, Vieira said:
I think he [Emery] has enough experience to get them through this difficult spell. We have to get behind him & give him time to change things. I am not sure a change of manager will fix the problems.
After seeing the quotes, these Arsenal fans on social media have been reacting to the news.

Read Arsenal verdict
Vieira seems to have surprised a few fans by speaking openly about Emery’s future. Perhaps this is a sign that he may not be in the running to replace him.
He was suggested as a potential target when Arsene Wenger first left the club but it looks like the Frenchman will continue to learn his trade at Nice for the time being.
Arsenal supporters may have to wait a little longer before they see him in the dugout at the Emirates.
