Nice coach Vieira flattered by Wenger tipping him for Arsenal job

Nice coach Patrick Vieira is flattered by Arsene Wenger describing him as a future Arsenal boss.

Wenger made the claim during the past season.

"I'm really privileged to have worked under Arsene and him saying that is really flattering," Vieira told the Daily Mail.

"If I manage Arsenal one day I will take him for dinner and I will pay the bill!

"He didn't say it to put pressure (on me). It's just flattering that the guy who spent over 20 years there thinks I have the quality to manage a big club like Arsenal one day."
