According to David Ornstein, Patrick Vieira will be named as the next Crystal Palace manager soon.

The contract is between the ex-Gunner and the Eagles is yet to be signed but as per L'Equipe, it's a 3-year deal.

After Roy Hodgson announced his decision to step down at the end of the season Vieira emerged as a candidate for the job alongside Sean Dyche, Frank Lampard and Valerien Ismael with Nuno Espirito Santo and Lucien Favre entering the race later.

The ex-Arsenal midfielder has won the competition in the end.

The 45-year-old hasn't been in the dugout since December 2020 when he was sacked by Nice.
