Wilfried Nancy in advanced talks to become Celtic manager | OneFootball

Colombus Crew manager Wilfried Nancy is in advanced talks to join Celtic, according to a report from L’Équipe.

Scottish champions Celtic are in the market for a new manager since Brendan Rodgers’ resignation at the end of October. Martin O’Neill is currently in charge of the club on an interim basis, but in the meantime, Celtic are searching the market for a permanent replacement. 

Nancy to be named Celtic manager this week?

Nancy, who won the MLS with Colombus Crew back in 2023, has emerged as the priority target. The Frenchman is already in advanced talks with the Scottish Premiership side. There are also talks ongoing with Colombus Crew. Nancy’s contract with the club runs until December 2026, and so they will be due compensation if their manager is to leave.

If an agreement can be reached between Celtic and Colombus Crew, Nancy could join the former before the weekend, L’Équipe understands.
