Patrick Vieira may be in line to become Manchester City manager if he succeeds at New York City FC, according to club official Brian Marwood.
Former Arsenal and France captain Vieira was named the second head coach in NYCFC's brief history on Nov. 12, signing a three-year deal with Man City's MLS sister club.
Vieira played for City before being put in charge of their elite development squad in 2013, and the club's football administration officer Marwood told Sky Sports that Etihad officials will be monitoring the former midfielder's progress in New York with current manager Manuel Pellegrini's deal up in 2017.
