Celtic FC have announced the appointment of French head coach Wilfried Nancy as manager. The former Colombus Crew manager has put pen to paper over a a two-and-a-half year contract with the Bhoys. Nancy’s tenure at Celtic Park will begin on December, 4. “I am so happy to be named Celtic Manager, it is a massive honour for myself and my family.“

Nancy was the frontrunner to land the Celtic FC hotseat. The Scottish Premiership giants were in advanced talks with Nancy as well as with Colombus Crew over finding a compensation to sign the 48-year-old French coach, who won the MLS title in 2023. Martin O’Neill was in charge of Celtic FC since Brendan Rodgers’ shock resignation in October. 

“I know the history, I know the values of Celtic and I know what is expected of me on this journey“, Nancy said in Celtic’s press release. “I know what Celtic means to so many people and my No. 1 aim will be simple – to give our fans a strong, exciting, attacking, winning football team they can be so proud of.“
