Frank Lampard believes the appointment of Patrick Vieira as New York City FC coach was a "great choice."
Vieira officially took charge at NYCFC on Jan. 1 after spending several years working in the youth coaching setup at Manchester City.
Lampard has experience working with Vieira after spending a year at Manchester City before he moved to the United States for the second half of last season.
"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."
