Patrick Vieira is widely regarded as a club legend at Arsenal as he helped the club win three Premier League titles and three FA Cup trophies.

Since retiring from the sport, the Frenchman has been honing his coaching skills.

The 41-year-old spent two years working with Manchester City's reserve team before taking charge of MLS side New York City FC in 2016.

Shortly after Arsene Wenger announced plans to walk away from Arsenal following 22 years as the club's manager, Vieira swiftly emerged as one of the bookies' favourites to take over.

It seems, though, that the former midfielder, who won seven league titles in his playing career, will not be making a sensational return to his former club.

In fact, Vieira could end up going back to his homeland as manager of Nice.

According to France Football, the ex-Arsenal star is in advanced talks to become Lucien Favre's successor at Nice.

These latest reports give a huge indication that Vieira is out of the running to become the next Arsenal boss.

Fans have been posting their thoughts on the situation.
