Patrick Vieira enjoyed an impressive first campaign in charge of Crystal Palace, but there's plenty of work to be done this summer if the Eagles are to kick on next season.
The Arsenal legend may not have been first choice in South London 12 months ago, but he's more than endeared himself to the Palace faithful since taking up his first Premier League managerial post. The Frenchman oversaw a squad overhaul following his appointment last July before taking a gamble by deciding to do away with the cautious approach instilled at the club under predecessor Roy Hodgson, ditching it in favour of a more attractive brand of attacking, possession-based football.
Vieira promptly dispelled any doubts over whether the Eagles could make such a transition as the side from SE25 sealed a 12th-placed Premier League finish and savoured a successful run to the FA Cup semi-finals, while playing some easy-on-the-eye stuff. Having asserted aspirations of aiming even higher in his second season at the helm, Mirror Sport take a closer look at the steps Vieira and Palace must take to kick on next campaign - including addressing the small matter of replacing Conor Gallagher and tying down talisman Wilfried Zaha.
