Celtic Sack Wilfried Nancy After 33 Days in Charge

Celtic paired the dismissal with exits across the backroom to launch a wider reset.

Overview

  • Celtic said assistants Kwame Ampadu, Jules Gueguen and Maxime Chalier left with Nancy, with head of football operations Paul Tisdale also departing and a further update promised.
  • The Frenchman lost six of his eight matches in a 33-day stint, ending with a 3-1 home defeat to Rangers after leading at half-time.
  • The tenure is widely reported as the shortest for a permanent Celtic manager.
  • Large protests outside Celtic Park after the derby loss intensified scrutiny of both the manager and the board.
  • Celtic sit six points behind leaders Hearts and level with Rangers, face a congested January schedule, and media link Martin O’Neill to a possible interim return that remains unconfirmed.
