Patrick Vieira has emerged on the radar of French club Olympique Marseille.

The Sun reports that Manchester City's Elite Development Squad boss could be lured away from England to begin his senior managerial career.

Marseille are set to part ways with Marcelo Bielsa in the summer and have earmarked Vieira as the perfect replacement.

Les Phoceens have also been linked with former Chelsea and Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas, currently in charge at Zenit Saint Petersburg, but more recent reports suggest that former Arsenal captain Vieira is now their main man.
