French coach Wilfried Nancy takes charge at Celtic | OneFootball

Celtic Glasgow, the champion of the last four editions of the Scottish league, announced this Wednesday the signing of Frenchman Wilfried Nancy as their new coach.

The 48-year-old coach arrives at the traditional Scottish club with a considerable reputation earned in North America.

The green-and-white club had a first semester marked by not qualifying for the Champions League and tensions between fans and management due to a transfer window considered insufficient.

Celtic currently occupies the second position in the Scottish championship, having won 13 of the last 14 titles, two points behind Hearts.

Martin O’Neill was the interim coach since Brendan Rodgers' departure at the end of October.

Wilfried Nancy, who signed a two-and-a-half-year contract, was an assistant coach to Thierry Henry at Montreal Impact, Canada, before taking charge of the team.

Since 2022, he has been managing the Columbus Crew in the United States, with whom he won the MLS in 2023 and the Leagues Cup in 2024, being named coach of the year.
