Patrick Vieira could be confirmed as Crystal Palace’s new manager within the next 24 hours.
The former Arsenal captain has emerged as Palace’s preferred candidate after a lengthy process since Roy Hodgson announced he was leaving the club on 18 May. Talks have progressed rapidly, and only the final details remain for Vieira, 45, to sign a three-year contract.
Vieira will hope to be more successful than the club’s other full-time manager outside the British Isles, Dutchman Frank de Boer, who lasted just five games in 77 days before being sacked in 2017.
A World Cup and European Championship winner with France also helped Inter Milan win three Serie A titles. Vieira then joined Manchester City in January 2010 and helped the club lift the FA Cup the following year before announcing his retirement from the game.
On the other hand, Nikola Maksimovic regrets not renewing his contract with Sevilla last year. And now Sevilla is looking for one or two new defenders.
Crystal Palace has made their offer to Nikola Maksimovic, and now it is up to him to decide between Betis, Sevilla, West Ham and Crystal Palace. Who do you think he will choose?
