Wilfried Nancy Arrives to Lead Celtic on Two-and-a-Half-Year Deal

Three trusted Columbus aides join him ahead of Hearts, Roma, plus a cup final.

Overview

  • The 48-year-old completed work-permit formalities, signed through summer 2028 and led his first Lennoxtown session, saying he will add "nuances" rather than make sweeping changes.
  • Assistant Kwame Ampadu, fitness coach Jules Gueguen and video performance coach Maxime Chalier have followed Nancy from Columbus to form his core staff.
  • Martin O’Neill concluded his interim tenure with a 1-0 win over Dundee and a five-match league streak before a handover and emotional farewell.
  • Nancy’s first fixtures are Hearts on Sunday, followed by Roma in the Europa League and St Mirren in the Premier Sports Cup final.
  • Celtic agreed compensation with Columbus Crew and resolved a short administrative delay, with Crew GM Issa Tall publicly thanking Nancy for his tenure.
