Among those names are unemployed duo Massimiliano Allegri and Jose Mourinho, as well as Vieira.<\/p>\n<p>The 43-year-old Frenchman enjoyed nine illustrious seasons in north London, during which time he lifted three Premier League crowns &#8211; the last being Arsenal&#8217;s most recent triumph.<\/p>\n<p>Since hanging up his boots Vieira has moved into management, first overseeing MLS outfit New York City before taking over at Nice.
