Wilfried Nancy Now Leading Candidate for Celtic Manager After Columbus Crew Exit

The decision turns on timing, candidate availability, fixture pressure.

Overview

  • Reports from multiple outlets place Columbus Crew boss Wilfried Nancy at the top of Celtic’s shortlist following his team’s MLS play-off elimination.
  • Bookmakers cut Nancy’s odds sharply over the weekend, with William Hill and BetVictor moving him to favourite ahead of Kjetil Knutsen and other contenders.
  • Sky Sports reports Celtic are weighing whether to keep interim manager Martin O’Neill in place through a busy run that includes league matches and a European tie.
  • Knutsen remains a leading option but is expected to be free only after Bodo/Glimt’s season ends on 30 November, affecting the club’s timeline.
  • Ipswich Town’s Kieran McKenna has stated there has been no approach and that his focus remains on his current role, as reported by Sky Sports.
