# Crystal Palace: Fans react to Patrick Vieira latest

**Many Crystal Palace fans have been reacting to a report from the [BBC](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/57653279) regarding manager target Patrick Vieira.**

News broke on [Tuesday lunchtime](https://twitter.com/David_Ornstein/status/1409829873628164098) that Palace are set to appoint the Frenchman as their new boss after an agreement in principle was reached.

The club have begun the process in regards to a work permit for the 45-year-old, and the [BBC](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/57653279) provided an update on Tuesday evening.

They claim that Vieira could be confirmed as Roy Hodgson’s successor in the next 24 hours.

Talks between the two parties [have progressed quickly](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/57653279), and Vieira, who has been out of work since [December](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/patrick-vieira/profil/trainer/20029), is [set to sign a three-year contract at Selhurst Park](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/57653279).

It appears to be third time lucky for Palace, who came close in their attempts to land [Nuno Espirito Santo](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12328346/nuno-espirito-santo-crystal-palace-end-talks-with-former-wolves-boss-over-becoming-new-manager) and [Lucien Favre](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11706/12341246/lucien-favre-crystal-palace-talks-with-former-borussia-dortmund-manager-break-down).
