William Gallas claims that Arsenal legend Patrick Vieira would be the ideal candidate to replace Mikel Arteta.
Arteta is under real pressure after his team suffered their eighth loss of the season when lost 2-1 to Everton on Saturday.
They rank 15th in the Premier League, just four points above the relegation zone.

And Gallas has suggested that Arsenal should look for another former player in Vieira in case it fires Arteta.
The Frenchman recently lost his job at Nice in Ligue 1, but Gallas seems confident it will be an improvement.
Gallas said Ladbrokes: “When Mikel Arteta was chosen to replace Unai Emery, in my mind, Patrick Vieira was the name that I thought they should have chosen.
“I don’t know how close he was or if he was in the race, but I was surprised they didn’t even mention his name. Patrick has more experience than Mikel, because he is a director in America and spent time in Nice.
“So when the Arsenal board decided to choose a new coach, I thought Patrick would get the call. He was captain of Arsenal and knows the club very well. Patrick was the right guy then.
“If they have to fire Mikel Arteta, they have to pick Patrick Vieira to replace him, and I’m sure all the fans will love it.”
