He may have won the World Cup with France and countless league titles in England and Italy, but Patrick Vieira now faces the most difficult challenge of his career after taking over at Crystal Palace.
The former Arsenal midfielder was announced as the Eagles' new manager on a three-year contract on Sunday following Roy Hodgson's departure earlier this summer, but the 45-year-old faces a mountain of issues at Selhurst Park.
Palace chairman Steve Parish has revealed that Vieira will be backed in his new role, while the Frenchman vowed to make further improvements to the club who established themselves as top-flight regulars under Hodgson.
