That's a whole lot of midfield greatness at one club.
Andrea Pirlo and Frank Lampard now have Patrick Vieira to answer to as the Arsenal legend has been announced as the new New York City FC manager.
Vieira, who had been working as head of the Elite Development Squad at Manchester City, is set to join up with his new team in January ahead of the side's second season in MLS.

The former France international takes over from Jason Kreis who left the club last month.
“I am delighted to take up the role of Head Coach of New York City FC," Vieira said. "To work with this squad, with Claudio Reyna and Rob Vartughian and the fantastic support team that is in place, is an exciting prospect for any coach.
"This established football set up, together with a passionate and loyal fan base, located in a special city which I know well, makes for an unparalleled opportunity that I am delighted to seize with both hands. I cannot wait to get started.”
Now all we need is Roy Keane to be unveiled as New York Red Bulls boss and MLS will officially be unmissable.
