Vieira, 47, succeeds Frederic Antonetti, who was dismissed early last week after Strasbourg finished 15th in Ligue 1, two places and five points above the relegation zone. AFPPIX: Former France captain Patrick Vieira on Sunday took over as coach of Strasbourg in the French Ligue 1 on a three-year contract, the US-owned club announced.
“I welcome Patrick Vieira, whom I know from the French national team; I am very happy to welcome him to Strasbourg,“ said Marc Keller, the Strasbourg president and a former France midfielder in a statement on the club website. The Alsace club is under new ownership, with The BlueCo consortium, led by Chelsea owner Todd Boehly and US-based Clearlake Capital, buying a majority stake on June 22.
“I know the history and the identity of this club, the fervour it arouses, the importance it has for its region, which is a place of football and passion,“ said Vieira.
