Plenty of Crystal Palace fans have been reacting to an update regarding Patrick Vieira on social media.

Palace are on the hunt for a new manager following Roy Hodgson’s Selhurst Park exit at the end of the 2020/21 campaign.

Former Arsenal midfielder Vieira was reportedly placed on the Eagles’ shortlist as a possible replacement for Hodgson back in April.

However, it appears as if Palace could miss out on the 44-year-old, who was sacked by Nice in December.

Vieira’s agent told Il Secolo XIX that the Frenchman is in contention to take over at Serie A side Sampdoria, with a meeting in place.

Nuno Espirito Santo now appears to be Palace’s man, though, with the former Wolves man in advanced talks with the Eagles, who appear to have made him their number one target.

Some reports have however claimed that swoop could be off too.
