But his time as a manager in england, started with defeat. Chelsea dominant from the start in this match, winning 3 0 alonso, pulisic, and the young English Midfielder Trevoh Chalabah on his Premier League debut with the goals. Vieira goes into this season as an unknown quantity hes managed nice in france and coached the young players at manchester city, but he knows taking over from Roy Hodgson at palace is a different challenge.
