He had previously coached at Manchester City and spent over two years in charge of MLS club New York City.Last month, Wenger, who joined the Gunners at the same time as Vieria in 1996, praised his former captain for constructing his career ‘intelligently and patiently’ and sees the 42-year-old returning to Arsenal one day.Vieira said: Im really privileged to have worked under Arsene and him saying that is really flattering.If I manage Arsenal one day I will take him for dinner and I will pay the bill!He didn’t say it to put pressure (on me). It’s just flattering that the guy who spent over 20 years there thinks I have the quality to manage a big club like Arsenal one day.Getty2

I have a clear idea of what I want to achieve, and I will try to take the right decision to get to the top.I want to take my time to get there, but I would love one day to manage one of the teams I played for in Italy or England.When you have an exciting league like in England, you always want to get involved.
