Nice coach Patrick Vieira admits he's been speaking regularly with former Arsenal teammate Thierry Henry since his sacking at AS Monaco.

Henry lasted three months at ASM this season before being dismissed.

Vieira told JDD: "After being ousted, we often talked.

"Thierry (Henry) was dumped, but agrees that the experience was interesting. He knows he cannot control everything.

"He listens, analyses situations very well and comes back because he is passionate. I, too, will use what he's experienced."
