Patrick Vieira has distanced himself from the Arsenal job, stating that there is "nothing serious" in rumours linking him with a return to his former club.
Vieira joined Arsenal in 1996 and, as a disciple of Arsene Wenger, won three Premier League titles and three FA Cup finals. He was also a central figure in the 'Invincibles' team which went the entire 2003-04 season unbeaten in the league.
Now manager of OGC Nice, he has been touted as a potential successor to Unai Emery. He was originally linked with the job after Wenger's departure last year, though Emery was ultimately the man appointed.
