Wenger’s shock announcement last week that he will be quitting at the end of the season has launched Arsenal into full-on recruitment mode, with targets believed to include Luis Enrique, Massimiliano Allegri and Joachim Low.
But former Gunners defender Campbell says the club should hand the job to one of Wenger’s proteges, with his tip being New York City FC manager Vieira, the man who captained Arsenal to an unbeaten season in 2003-04.
Campbell also said he would like to see Vieira work alongside Dennis Bergkamp
"I think they should see if they can promote from within. It could be someone who has played for the club and is managing now - or has aspirations of managing Arsenal and would love to take that opportunity," Campbell told football.london.
[Mikel] Arteta has gone to Manchester City and has gained fantastic experience, but for me, someone like Patrick would be perfect and he's great buddies with Dennis Bergkamp so for me, to have those two guys at the helm, I think that could be a really good combination.
"Bring guys who have done well for Arsenal back into the club. Otherwise, people like Carlo Ancelotti - unless he takes the Italy job - he could be a good fit. Then you've got [Massimiliano] Allegri and the Germany manager [Joachim] Low."
