\"patrick-vieira-new-york-city-mls\"MLS club New York City announces former Arsenal star Patrick Vieira appointed as team manager.<\/h1>\n

US top football division Major League Soccer (MLS) team New York City announced Monday the club named former French international and Arsenal star Patrick Vieira as new manager.<\/p>\n

According to a statement on the club’s website, the 39-year-old former player signed a three-year deal.<\/p>\n

Vieira will take the reigns January 1, 2016 as he has been coaching English Premier League side Manchester City’s reserve team since 2013.<\/p>\n

“Patrick\u2019s ability, vision and the respect in which he is held by everyone who works with him, speaks volumes for his character and capacity to succeed. I am excited to work with him and I know the energy he will bring to the role will have a hugely positive impact across the Club”, New York City chairman Tom Glick said.<\/p>\n

Having made the captaincy of France National Team in mid-2000s, Vieira was part of “Les Bleus” (The Blues) who won the 1998 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 2000 titles.<\/p>\n

During his 17-year-career Vieira played for Italy’s AC Milan, Juventus and Inter, English clubs Arsenal and Manchester City. Former French international retired from football at the end of the 2010-2011 football season.<\/p>\n

Established in 2013, New York City has many experienced European football stars such as Frank Lampard, Andrea Pirlo and David Villa.<\/p>\n

The US club parted ways with its ex-manager Jason Kreis last week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
