Crystal Palace Appoints Arsenal Legend Patrick Vieira As Manager
English Premier League club Crystal Palace have appointed Arsenal legend Patrick Vieira as their new manager on a three-year contract.
Crystal Palace have been without manager since Roy Hodgson left the club at the end of the 2020/2021 season.
“I am really excited to have this opportunity to return to the Premier League and manage this great football club as we begin a new chapter together,” Vieira said.
“It is a project that is really appealing to me, having spoken a lot with the chairman and sporting director about their ambition and plans for the whole club, including the academy.”

Vieira last managed Ligue 1 club Nice, first taking charge in the summer of 2018 before being sacked in December last year following a run of five defeats in all competitions.
The former Arsenal captain, who won three Premier Leagues and four FA Cups with the Gunners, previously coached at Manchester City before spending two and a half years in the United States in charge of MLS side New York City.
