Two days ago, we covered rumors of advanced talks between New York City FC manager Patrick Vieira being personally courted by OGC Nice executive director Julian Fournier. The report — originally from RMCSport and later corroborated by NBC Sports contributor Matt Reed — stated that Fournier would fly to New York personally and meet with Vieira to secure him as manager for Nice heading into the 2018-19 Ligue 1 season.
But much like last week, Vieira denied any such plans.
Christian Araos — an NYCFC reporter with The Athletic — mentioned on Twitter that the French gaffer has denied any contact with Nice this week.
