Patrick Vieira has left his position as manager of RC Strasbourg by mutual consent, just one month before the start of the Ligue 1 season. Vieira, a legendary former player for Arsenal and the French national team, was one year into a three-year contract with the club. Strasbourg, owned by BlueCo, the same entity that controls Chelsea, finished 13th in Ligue 1 under Vieira's leadership. His departure has fueled speculation that he may be a candidate to replace Gregg Berhalter as the U.S. national team coach. The club praised Vieira for his commitment and contribution during a transitional phase and is expected to announce a new coach soon.
