Ligue 1 club Strasbourg have confirmed the appointment of Patrick Vieira as their new head coach.
The former Arsenal midfielder signed a three-year deal.
The 47-year-old takes the reins from predecessor Frederic Antonetti and returns to his homeland four months after being given the boot by Crystal Palace.

“I am particularly happy to join Racing. I know the history and the identity of this club, the fervour it arouses, the importance it has for its region, which is a place of football and passion,” Vieira told the official Strasbourg website.
The rebuilding of the club in recent years, under the direction of Marc Keller, is an example to be admired. Working with him is a real pleasure for me.
“Today, a new cycle begins for Racing and it is exciting as a coach to be able to build something while relying on the values that have defined the strength of the club.”

Na man u be VIERA! U no just SIDAN dey wait for FRENCH FOOTBALL to SACK DIDIER DESCHAMPS or for him to RESIGN before you WORK..YOU are busy applying for JOBS and getting them outside.. from MAN CITY, NEW YORK CITY FC, NICE, CRYSTAL PALACE and now here.. building your CV so that when the NATIONAL TEAM comes calling, you will be PREPARED..
But if na our EX INTERNATIONALS them go sit down GANG UP against the COACH like they did to GENERAL ROAH so he can be FIRED and they will now submit their CV…
Hahahahaha…..Anybody waiting for France to sack Deschamps will grow grey hairs….LMAOoo. The same way our lazy ex-internationals started growing grey hairs when Rohr refused to fail and get sacked despite refusing to pay him and withdrawing his assistants and backroom staff and many other things too numerous to mention.
They even planted Bro Jo their errand boy, a renowned specialist in causing commotion in the national team as an asst coach, with his zero qualifications, badges and experience to go do what he’s best known for, but still, the wily old fox in Rohr continued to outsmart them.
And by the way, when will Bro jo complete his CAF coaching badges na…? Abi e nor dey finish…? All the judas-iscariotic club chairmen who supported his fraudulent appointment, and claimed he was good enough to coach the national team because he had 100 caps, why havent they appointed him in their clubs….LMAOoo
100 caps my foot.
Yaya Toure who just retired from football yesterday just got appointed as an assistant coach of Standard Liege in Belgium 2 weeks ago after managing the Tottenham youth team for over a year now.
Little by little Yaya is building up his CV after having been assistant Manager at Olimpik Donetsk and Akhmat Grozny in the Ukrainian and Russian Premier Leagues respectively.
But our owns will be lying to themselves of the pages of the internet that nobody wants to give them jobs because they are black.
Yaya Toure must be pink in colour.
Tomorrow if and when CIV names him into their national team coaching set up, alarmist will come and cry here about Nigeria not giving ex-internationals jobs….LMAOoo
LMFAO..
DR DREY who is BRO JO again?
You mean JOSEPH YOBO?
LMFAO….
FUNNY MAN…
HIM say na BRO JO…
I can’t laugh o….. Bro Jo….Joseph Yobo needs to get a life…..
