In 1996, he joined Arsenal in the UK for a fee of £3.5 million.

Following retirement, he quickly transitioned into coaching.
He was hired to manage Ligue 1 club Nice in 2018. However, but he was fired in 2020 after a series of losses.
He has become famous for his tough-love style of coaching.
In 2018, he famously told his team during half-time of a match: “We had a catastrophic first half in every capacity. If I could, I would substitute you all apart from three of you. I don’t give a [bleep] about the score.”
Thanks to his successful career on and off the pitch, Patrick is believed to be worth around £26 million.

He has since made his transition into being a pundit, and made his first appearance for ITV at the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

Why is it called Euro 2020 and not Euro 2021?
Originally, Euro 2020 was supposed to take part last year. However, it was disrupted by the coronavirus pandemic.
After long delays, sporting events can now take place under the latest government guidelines.
As a result, the competition is still happening using the same name.
