Vieira
The Frenchman has been out of work since parting ways with French Ligue 1 side Strasbourg in July, having previously managed Premier League club Crystal Palace.
Ralf Rangnick and his City counterpart Pep Guardiola have both urged the Premier League to increase the number of substitutions from three to five.
Vieira began his coaching career with Manchester City's youth team before joining New York and guiding them to successive playoff appearances.
Beijing also announced the signing of Spanish winger Jonathan Viera from Las Palmas.
