Put it together and you have "Patrice", which is a French name. That's why Wenger liked him so much.
But the point of the article is that he's not reallllllly leaving Arsenal. According to Jamie Sanderson:

Arsène Wenger confirms Steve Bould is his new assistant. Says he brings 'continuity of philosophy'. Pat Rice will scout for Arsenal.

He's leaving.........
..the assistant managers role.
The scouting job just means he gets paid a god pension to live in south france surfing football pages.

Pat Rice is an awesome guy. I'll never forget his reaction to Arshavin v Barcelona. It was cartoon-perfect.

It says he's retiring...
He'll probably just come on here for all his scouting goodies anyway, seems sensible to me
