LONDON. — Patrick Vieira will insist Newcastle give him the “tools to become a successful manager” before he considers being their head coach.

The Manchester City Under-21 chief will go head to head with Steve McClaren this week as Newcastle move to appoint their new boss.

Owner Mike Ashley wants a new man in place this week and managing director Lee Charnley will hold talks with two candidates before making the decision.

Vieira spent last week doing his UEFA Pro Licence and spoke of his ambition to take charge at the top level.

The France and Arsenal legend has a clear “vision” on what type of coach he wants to be, and will expect backing. — The Mirror.
