Crystal Palace have confirmed the appointment of Patrick Vieira as the club's new manager on a three-year deal.
The 45-year-old Frenchman is due to arrive in London today and an official announcement is scheduled for later this afternoon.
Vieira has reportedly signed a three year deal with Crystal Palace as the club look to replace Roy Hodgson.
Vieira's appointment will end Palace's search for Hodgson's successor after he departed Selhurst Park by mutual consent at the end of last season.
The role will be the Frenchman's first senior coaching position in England - having previously managed OGC Nice and New York City FC.
