CITY LINE UP VIEIRA
Patrick Vieira is being lined up as potential successor to current Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini, according to the club’s Football Administration Officer Brian Marwood.
"It was important that we could find the next development stage for Patrick and it was still part of the group,” Marwood told Sky Sports News HQ.
“That opportunity came about in New York. We are really excited, he is really excited by it and I think it is exactly the next step he needs.
"Hopefully, at some point, he'll come back and manage Manchester City, that's the ambition for him and that's the ambition for us. But he has to go through this learning curve."
