Former team-mates of the Frenchman, Ray Parlour and Lee Harper, believe he would be a good fit for a vacant managerial post at St James’ Park
Newcastle could prove to be a “stepping stone” for Patrick Vieira, says Ray Parlour, with the legendary former Arsenal midfielder expected to head back to north London in a managerial capacity at some stage.
The Frenchman is among those being linked with a high-profile vacancy at St James’ Park.
With Newcastle having been unable to agree fresh terms with Rafa Benitez, they find themselves back in the market for a new coach.
