Patrick Vieira: RC Strasbourg manager leaves by mutual consent
RC Strasbourg have announced that manager Patrick Vieira has left the club by mutual consent.
The former Arsenal midfielder and Crystal Palace manager signed a three-year deal at the French top-flight club last July.
The Alsace club made Vieira their first appointment after an ownership change to BlueCo, the company run by Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali which also owns Chelsea.
Mauricio Pochettino left Chelsea by mutual consent in May to be replaced by Leicester manager Enzo Maresca.
A statement from Strasbourg read: “The entire club warmly thanks Patrick Vieira for his impeccable commitment.
“Indeed, in a season of transition, Patrick was able to help young talents progress and always displayed exemplary behaviour on and off the field.”
Club president Marc Keller added: “We would like to express our gratitude and thank Patrick for the work he has accomplished during this first phase of the project and we wish him much success in the future. He will always be welcome at the club.”
