Former Arsenal star and Crystal Palace boss Patrick Vieira is closing in on a return to management to work under Chelsea owner Todd Boehly.
The Frenchman has been out of work since being sacked by Crystal Palace in March following a rotten run of form. He was replaced by Roy Hodgson at Selhurst Park, the veteran boss leading the Eagles to Premier League safety and now securing an even longer stay with his boyhood club.
Vieira has in the meantime been on the lookout for a new job ever since. He was initially linked with taking the reins at recently-relegated Leeds United.
