Patrick Vieira Backs Thierry Henry to Save Monaco from Ligue 1 Relegation

Patrick Vieira believes his former Arsenal team-mate will succeed as manager of Monaco and prevent the club being relegated from Ligue 1.

Vieira, who is in charge of Nice, faces Henry's Monaco in league action on Wednesday. It's the first managerial meeting between two of Arsenal's greatest-ever players.

While Henry has struggled since replacing Leonardo Jardim back in October, Vieira thinks the 41-year-old will turn things around, per Richard Cooke of Sky Sports: "I believe that he will find a way to get the best out of his players and be successful."

Henry has struggled to get the mix between youth and experience right, as well as having to deal with a myriad of injuries.
