Patrick Vieira has reportedly emerged as the favourite to take over at French side Strasbourg.
The former Crystal Palace manager has been out of work since being sacked by the Eagles in March after a run of 12 games without a win.
Following his retirement in 2011, Vieira spent four years coaching in the Manchester City youth set-up before moving onto a satellite club of City Football Group, New York City FC.
He was in charge of the MLS outfit for two years when he then joined Nice, helping the Ligue 1 outfit qualify for the Europa League.
