Vieira signs new City deal

(GSM) – Veteran midfielder Patrick Vieira has committed to Manchester City by agreeing a one-year contract extension at the Eastlands.

Vieira signed on a six-month deal from Internazionale in January and, having made 14 appearances, coach Roberto Mancini feels the 33-year-old’s experience will prove valuable next season.

A statement on the official Manchester City website read: “The club is delighted to confirm that Patrick Vieira will be staying with City after taking up the option of a one-year extension to his contract.”
