Wilfried Nancy speaks to the media ahead of Europa League clash with Roma | OneFootball

Wilfried Nancy will take charge of his first European match as Celtic manager tomorrow night (Thursday, December 11) when the Hoops take on Serie A side Roma at Celtic Park. 

And the Hoops boss says he is pleased with the work the players have been putting in at training as they target another three points in the Europa League. 

Speaking to the media at Celtic Park this afternoon, Nancy looked ahead to tomorrow's match under the Paradise lights. 

He said: "At the weekend, we had good moments with and without the ball but after that, we could have been better.

"But I’m pleased, not with the result but with how we played, with the way each player wanted to connect. It was interesting for our first game.

"As a coach my job is to find solutions and after that it’s to prioritise. Obviously I cannot show everything since I’ve come here, but the idea is to prioritise.

"I’m pretty pleased with what I’ve seen so far. The training session that we had this morning, I was really pleased with.

"This is a session I have done with my previous teams. It was the first time that I’ve done it here and the quality was spot on. For me, this is a sign that my players are able to embrace what we want to do."
