The ex-Manchester City, Inter Milan and Juventus midfielder were in his third season as head coach of New York City.

The 41-year-old had been tipped to replace Arsene Wenger at Arsenal before the appointment of Unai Emery.

“Leaving New York is an incredibly difficult decision for me and my family and one that has not been taken lightly,” said Vieira.
