Vieira, a former Arsenal captain, has been without a managerial role since leaving Genoa in November 2022. His appointment follows Senegal's exit from the World Cup after a defeat to Belgium in the last 32.
The Senegalese Football Federation announced Vieira's hiring, with details regarding his official presentation to be shared later. Vieira brings a wealth of experience, having previously managed clubs like Nice and Crystal Palace, and he aims to lead Senegal to future successes on the international stage.
