🇮🇹 Italy Shock: Patrick Vieira Emerges as Surprise Contender for AS Roma Job
Former midfield powerhouse Patrick Vieira, known for his legendary spells at Arsenal, Inter Milan, and of course, the French national team, has struggled to ignite his coaching career—until now. After mixed results with New York City FC, OGC Nice, Crystal Palace, and Strasbourg, the French tactician is finally finding success with Genoa, delivering a surprisingly strong run of results since his arrival last autumn.
Now, his managerial comeback could hit a new level.
Vieira on Roma’s Shortlist to Replace Ranieri
According to Sky Italia, Patrick Vieira is among the final four candidates considered by AS Roma to replace Claudio Ranieri, who is set to retire at the end of the current season. This marks a remarkable turnaround for Vieira, who was once seen as a struggling manager but is now being eyed by one of Italy’s biggest clubs.
The shortlist also includes established Italian names:
- Stefano Pioli
- Vincenzo Montella
- Roberto Mancini
Italian media report that the decision will be made swiftly—an announcement is expected before the end of the season, allowing current managers to prepare for their future.
