Patrick Vieira is set to be named new coach of Strasbourg.

Vieira held talks with Strasbourg earlier this week after Chelsea's umbrella company, BlueCo, bought out the club.

Former Crystal Palace manager is now set to take charge of the Ligue 1 outfit.

He will replace Frederic Antonetti, 61, who guided Strasbourg away from relegation last term but agreed to part ways following the recent investment.

Vieira was sacked by Palace towards the end of last season and replaced by Roy Hodgson.
