New York City FC coach Patrick Vieira is happy to be back in England.

Vieira has spent most of it on the Manchester City training field, watching Pep Guardiola, whose job he may one day hold himself.

"I have been watching Pep's training just to look at him, how he conducts himself, his ideas, how he gets his message across — how clear he is on details that he wants from the players," he told the Daily Mail.

"The responsibility for the players — knowing what they have to do but at the same time giving them a bit of freedom to express themselves. His principles of the game.

"I will take lots of things with me. Even the details about how things change at the training ground, how players look after themselves, what they are eating, it is all important."
