Manchester City’s rising coaching star Patrick Vieira is a shock target to become new boss at his old club Inter Milan, writes Alan Nixon of the Sunday People
.
The Frenchman has been put in charge of City’s next generation of
stars this season, as he cuts his teeth in that side of the game.
The 37-year-old is a very popular figure behind the scenes at the Etihad and
has worked in several departments on his way to becoming a leading power at the club.
Many see Vieira as a future City manager, as he is groomed in all of
the skills needed for the top job – but now Inter have put him top of
their wish list. The former Arsenal hero
was also a legend at Inter as a player and insiders in Italy reveal
that he is seen as their next coach, possibly as early as next summer. Old times: Arsenal skipper Patrick Vieira as a player
Vieira was at Inter during a glory spell in their history and although he did not always start, he was seen as a natural leader.
City spotted that in Vieira when he joined three years ago and he has fitted in smoothly on the youth and recruitment side.
He is seen as a ‘modern’ type of coach
with his reputation and respect all part of an impressive CV. But the
arrival of Manuel Pellegrini as City’s first-team coach will mean the
chances of Vieira being fast-tracked at the Etihad is remote.
However, Inter have their sights on him and have promoted young
bosses recently. Walter Mazzarri is in charge for this season, but will
need to produce in Serie A this term.
