Denis Bergkamp was full of praise for former Arsenal teammate and Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira on Saturday and opened the door to one day working with the Frenchman again in a coaching role.
The two icons - both members of the Premier League Hall of Fame - enjoyed nine trophy-laden seasons together playing for Arsenal, winning three league titles and four FA Cups under manager Arsene Wenger. Vieira has since followed his old boss into management and has impressed this season taking the reins at Selhurst Park, leading Crystal Palace close to a record points tally in the league as well as an FA Cup semi-final in his first campaign as a Premier League manager.
Bergkamp, who spent six years coaching at Ajax between 2011 and 2017, was in south London on Saturday with his family to support Vieira, with the pair catching up on the Selhurst Park pitch after the Eagles moved into the top half of the Premier League with a 1-0 win over Watford.
