Nice coach Patrick Vieira admits Arsenal never contacted him about the manager's job.
While the Frenchman publicly expressed interest in the post, Vieira says he never heard from his old club as they appointed Mikel Arteta new manager on Friday.
He said, "If I have been contacted? No. Is it possible one day? I am under contract with OGC Nice.
"Seeing my name everywhere is flattering for your ego but on arrival I know how lucky I am to be in this club today with this club's project.
"I don't want to go looking elsewhere."
