Patrick Vieira signs three-year deal to become new manager of Strasbourg
Strasbourg have appointed Patrick Vieira as their new manager.
The Ligue 1 club confirmed on Sunday, that the former France captain has signed a three-year contract.
Vieira coached Premier League side Crystal Palace from 2021 to this year.
The 47-year-old guided Palace to a 12th-placed finish and an FA Cup semifinal in his first season in charge, but was sacked mid-March following a 1-0 defeat at Brighton & Hove Albion that left the south London club three points above the relegation zone.
“Patrick’s arrival should allow us to make further progress and to take a step forward,” said Strasbourg President Marc Keller.
“He corresponds to the profile we were looking for: a manager with international experience, and who also has a good knowledge of Ligue 1 and its young players.”
Vieira won the 1998 World Cup and 2000 European Championship as a player with France. He earned more than 100 caps for his country, scoring six goals.
At club level, he helped Arsenal to three Premier League titles, and won Serie A four times — with AC Milan in 1995-96 and with Inter Milan in three consecutive seasons from 2006-07.
