Nice head coach Patrick Vieira has commented on the news that a Chinese-American group of investors are set to fully take over as owners of French Ligue 1 side at the end of the season.

Vieira, 42, is preparing to face Thierry Henry’s Monaco on Tuesday ahead of their top-flight clash on Wednesday.

Nice are currently 8th in the league table, while Monaco are struggling in 19th.

Former Arsenal and France team-mates Vieira and Henry will face each other for the first time as coaches when the two teams meet in Monaco on Wednesday.
