Nice coach Patrick Vieira is being linked with Olympique Lyon.
The former Arsenal captain and Manchester City U23 coach has impressed Lyon president Jean Michel Aulas.
Nice-Matin says Vieira features high on the shortlist of Aulas in the event they lose coach Bruno Genesio this summer.
Genesio's deal expires in June.
Vieira, meanwhile, is in his second season with OCGN.
