Arsenal new manager: Legends Patrick Vieira and Dennis Bergkamp should replace Arsene Wenger as boss, insists Sol Campbell
Gunners have begun their search for a new manager for the first time in 22 years following the long-serving Frenchman's announcement last week
PATRICK VIEIRA and Dennis Bergkamp would be the “perfect” duo to replace Arsene Wenger, according to Sol Campbell.
The Gunners have begun their search for a new manager after the Frenchman announced he was leaving this summer after 22 years in charge.
A host of top coaches across the continent have been linked with taking over from the 68-year-old.
But ex-Arsenal defender Campbell has told that his former team-mates should be the men Emirates chiefs turn to.
He said: “I think there should be an important push to get guys who have done really well for Arsenal back into the club.
“There’s talk about Patrick Vieira… I think a double act between Patrick and Dennis Bergkamp - they’re best of mates, why not?
“It would be perfect. Having those two guys at the helm, I think that could be a really good combination.
“There are people like Tony Adams as well…
PAT BACK Patrick Vieira has all the qualities to be future Arsenal manager, says Bruce Arena
“There are managers who can come in, but there are also people from within the club who can be promoted, so you’ve got to look at all the options.”
Vieira is currently the manager of MLS side New York City FC and has been at the helm since leaving his post at Manchester City’s youth academy in January 2016.
Meanwhile Bergkamp had been assistant coach at Ajax but was left in December.
Ex-Barcelona boss Luis Enrique remains among the frontrunners for the post.
Juventus chief Massimiliano Allegri and Germany head coach Joachim Low are two other names linked with job.
