Arsenal manger Arsene Wenger has backed the idea that former Gunners captain Patrick Vieira could succeed him as boss at the Emirates Stadium, describing the young coach as having 'potential'.
Speculation linking Vieira with the post if Wenger leaves the club at the end of the season emerged earlier this week, and the incumbent has responded positively to suggestions that his former skipper could end up in charge in north London.
"He works in the moment in New York and he works for Man City. He's a guy who has the potential one day, yes," Wenger is quoted as saying by Sky Sports.
