World Cup champion and current New York City head coach Thiago Vieira and his wife Cheryl purchased the seven-bedroom mansion in 2010 when he relocated to the Etihad.

Some bookmakers offer a 10/1 chance that the former France midfielder, who formerly oversaw City’s development squad, will supplant the under-fire Wenger should his former manager depart the Gunners after the current campaign.

After relocating to New York in November 2015, Vieira, 40, spent five years in Manchester, including a season and a half as a player during which he won the FA Cup.

According to the estate agent’s description, the family property on the outskirts of leafy Wilmslow, which is on the market for a cool £2,295,000, features “an exceptional bespoke interior nestled in mature gardens.”

In addition to a double garage, the 6,500-square-foot property features landscaped gardens, a wine cellar, larder, playroom, sauna, and boot room.

There are five additional double bedrooms, three of which are en suite, along with a dressing room-turned-bedroom, in addition to the master bedroom and en suite toilet.

This week, Vieira, who won eleven major awards during his nine-year tenure at Arsenal, defended the manager who hired him in 1995, stating that Wenger was not responsible for the recent decline in form of the north London club.
