Currently looking for his next challenge in management, Vieira expressed a strong desire to return to Serie A, citing “unfinished business” in Italy. He also took the time to praise current Arsenal star Declan Rice, noting the similarities between his own game and the England international’s selfless approach to the midfield role.
“When we won, 22 years ago, I never thought I would have to wait so long. And I tell you, Declan Rice is like me: he plays for the team, not for himself,” Vieira noted.
Looking ahead to the Champions League final, he added a tip for the Gunners’ future European ambitions: “I think there will be goals, but not a 1-0. If PSG play as openly as they did against Bayern, they will take risks. And I’ve changed my mind: now I will support Arsenal.”
