The U.S. men's national team reportedly is considering Patrick Vieira as its next manager after he terminated his contract with French side Strasbourg.
Now another name has emerged. Former Premier League star Patrick Vieira is a candidate for the opening, soccer journalist Fabrizio Romano reported Thursday.Nothing advanced or close at this stage but Vieira’s one of the options being discussed, not the only one.Vieira just terminated his contract with French club Strasbourg, so he's free to discuss terms with other teams that have a vacancy.
Vieira had been at Strasbourg for just over a year, but the club finished 13th out of 18 teams. The young squad struggled, with fans known to dislike the American owners who also own Premier League's Chelsea. Several Chelsea players have been sent on loan to Strasbourg to develop as part of the English club's strategy, but the early results haven't shown much promise.
Vieira's win-draw-loss record from his NYCFC tenure to Strasbourg is a combined 111-79-102. His teams have scored 389 goals but conceded 391. Vieira with Crystal Palace ran a 4-3-3 formation that could operate well with the current USMNT senior setup, but he was also heavily criticized for being too reactive and defensive in his approaches, which is similar to how Berhalter worked.
