Crystal Palace confirm Patrick Vieira as new manager on three-year deal

The Arsenal legend, who previously coached Nice and New York City FC, will end his English exodus to succeed Roy Hodgson in south London

Crystal Palace have confirmed Patrick Vieira as the club's new manager on a three-year deal that will take the Frenchman through 2024 at Selhurst Park.

The Arsenal legend, who was previously coach of Nice until his dismissal in December last year, will succeed Roy Hodgson in the hotseat in south London.

The 45-year-old, who began his coaching career with New York City FC in Major League Soccer, takes charge for the first time in the Premier League, having made his name as one of the game's greatest midfielders during an electrifying decade-long spell with the Gunners.
