PATRICK VIEIRA has been enjoying a holiday in the Caribbean sun after being sacked by Crystal Palace.
The French manager has been pictured in Barbados soaking up the sun and swimming in the sea.
Vieira, 46, also spent time enjoying some water sports such as kayaking and an inflatable water trampoline.
The Arsenal icon was seen jumping off the inflatable into the water as he made the most of his time away from the dugout.
The manager’s tattoos were also on show as he swam topless while wearing blue swim shorts.
Vieira has one tattoo of a soldier in laurel leaves on his right arm.

His other tattoo is on his stomach around his belly button.
The design appears to be of a ram’s skull and horns.
Vieira was sacked from his role as Crystal Palace boss in March after a poor run of results.
He was replaced by Roy Hodgson – the same manager he succeeded in 2021 when he arrived at Selhurst Park.
