Celtic Step Up Manager Hunt With MLS Winner Wilfried Nancy on Early Shortlist

Reports in Britain place the Columbus Crew head coach on the initial list as the club works under interim boss Martin O’Neill.

Overview

  • Celtic accepted Brendan Rodgers’ resignation and installed Martin O’Neill as interim, with his first game bringing a 4-0 win over Falkirk.
  • UK reports name Wilfried Nancy as an outside candidate under consideration, and he declined to comment when asked about the links.
  • Nancy’s credentials include leading Columbus Crew to the 2023 MLS Cup and earning coach-of-the-year recognition after further success.
  • Other names reported in the frame include Robbie Keane and Kieran McKenna, while talk of an Ange Postecoglou return has been played down.
  • Logistical factors such as the MLS calendar and potential compensation for contracted coaches are seen as hurdles to a swift appointment.
