Wilfried Nancy Installed as Bookmakers’ Favorite for Celtic Job After Crew Playoff Exit

His sudden availability has sharpened Celtic’s timeline as the club weighs moving now or waiting on other options.

Overview

  • Columbus Crew’s elimination from the MLS playoffs has made Wilfried Nancy available to discuss opportunities, though he remains under contract.
  • Betting markets shifted sharply, with William Hill cutting Nancy to 13/8 and BetVictor listing him at 11/8 as the new favorite for the Celtic post.
  • Interim manager Martin O’Neill continues to lead the team, but reports indicate Celtic could act quickly if they decide to appoint an external candidate.
  • Kjetil Knutsen of Bodø/Glimt remains a leading alternative and is expected to be free after his club’s season ends on 30 November, potentially making him available in early December.
  • Nancy has signaled he would assess his future after the season and is credited with winning the 2023 MLS Cup and being named MLS Coach of the Year in 2024.
