Frank Lampard believes the appointment of Patrick Vieira as New York City coach was a "great choice" and is targeting success in the MLS this season.
Vieira officially took charge at New York on January 1 after spending several years working in the youth coaching setup at Manchester City.
Lampard has experience working with Vieira after spending a year with Manchester City before he moved to the United States for the back-end of last season.
And the former England international is certain Vieira will be a success in the MLS.
"I think it's a great choice," Lampard told ESPN. "I worked with him in Manchester for a year when he was working with the under 21s and I spoke to him at the back end of last season, when I think he spoke to every player one on one.
"He'll bring experience, he was a top player obviously and he's been gaining experience as a coach in Manchester for a few years.
"The players will respect him and try to do our best for him and, as I say, let's hope we can bring the club some success."
The 2016 MLS season begins in March, with Vieira's first test coming in the form of Chicago Fire.
