12 Things Newcastle Fans Need To Know About Patrick Vieira's Managerial Career
2. Vieira Claimed His First Managerial Silverware During The 2014-15 Season
On May 8th, Vieira claimed his first-ever silverware as a coach as Manchester City Under-21s were crowned the inaugural International Premier League Cup winners. Kelechi Iheanacho's strike gave Vieira's men a 1-0 victory over Porto in the final in front of their home crowd to lift the trophy. Benfica, Schalke, Celtic and Leicester City were also beaten on the way to the final, and Vieira was able to finally lift silverware as a coach - having done so numerous times as player. Success tends to breed success - so Vieira will hope that title is just the first of many.
