Patrick Vieira - Football Coach

Patrick Paul Vieira (French: ; born 23 June 1976) is a French professional football manager and former player who is the head coach of Serie A club Genoa. He was named in the FIFA 100 of greatest living footballers in 2004. He is regarded as one of the best players of his generation and one of the greatest midfielders in the history of the sport. He is the current head coach of Serie A club Genoa. Vieira began his playing career at Cannes, where several standout performances garnered him a move to Serie A club AC Milan. In 1996, he relocated to England to join fellow countryman Arsène Wenger at Arsenal for a fee of £3.5 million. During his nine-year stint in the Premier League, Vieira established himself as a dominating box-to-box midfielder, noted for his aggressive and highly competitive style of play, an attitude that also helped him excel as captain of the club from 2002 until his departure in 2005. He helped Arsenal achieve a sustained period of success during his time at the club, where he lifted four FA Cups and three league titles, including one unbeaten. He was named in the Premier League PFA Team of the Year for six consecutive years from 1999 to 2004. He returned to Italy, playing for Juventus, but quickly departed after the club was relegated as punishment for its part in the Calciopoli scandal.
