“I am particularly happy to join Racing. I know the history and the identity of this club, the fervor it arouses, the importance it has for its territory, land of football and passion. The reconstruction of the club in recent years, under the direction of Marc Keller, is an example. Working with him is a real pleasure for me. Today, a new cycle begins for Racing and it is exciting for a coach to be able to build something while relying on the values that make the strength of a club.launched Patrick Vieira, who will therefore return to Ligue 1 next season, three years after his departure from Nice.
