NYCFC youngster eyes breakout chance with Patrick Vieira gone

With Patrick Vieira no longer in charge at New York City FC, Domenec Torrent’s arrival signifies a new beginning for all players — even those buried deep on the depth chart.

One of those reserve options, Jonathan Lewis, could largely benefit from a fresh start.

When the 21-year-old winger was asked if he viewed the hiring of Torrent, a Pep Guardiola disciple and advocate for youth development, as a second chance — or fresh start — a wide smile broke across Lewis’ face before he answered.

“Obviously, there’s going to be new pastures — greener pastures — but Patrick taught me a lot,” Lewis told The Post at an Adidas soccer event Sunday.
