However, he is now in line to take up the vacant position with the USMNT.
ESPN report Vieira is interested in the role with contact already being made about the position.
Despite this, talks have not progressed beyond the initial stages, with other candidates still being considered for the role.
The position was last held permanently by Gregg Berhalter, whose contract expired following the World Cup.
Anthony Hudson and B.J. Callaghan have both held the position since on Interim basis’.
Vieira has previous experience in the US, previously coaching New York City FC between 2016 and 2018.
After leaving Major League Soccer, Vieira then found himself managing Nice in Ligue 1 from 2018 until 2020 before starting at Palace in 2021.
Vieira’s first season at Palace laid strong foundations, with the club finishing 12th in the Premier League and making it to the FA Cup semi-finals.
However, a lack of cutting edge in his second season left the Eagles staring down a relegation battle.
Vieira was eventually replaced by Roy Hodgson, who was in charge before the former midfielder was appointed.
Since his sacking, Vieira has starred in a Champions League legends match.
