The name will be instantly recognizable for Arsenal fans, albeit perhaps not for all the right reasons. Nelson Vivas appeared at Highbury between 1998 and 2001, in a career that also took in a successful spell with Boca Juniors and a subdued stint at Inter.
It is as a coach, however, that the 47 year old is currently making a name for himself. Vivas' Estudiantes team tops the Argentine Primera Division by two points, and the unbeaten La Plata side looks set to make a serious challenge for their first title since Alejandro Sabella was in charge back in 2010.
