Overview
- Nancy takes charge for the first time against league leaders Hearts, with a win set to return Celtic to the top after Martin O’Neill’s five straight victories pulled them level on points.
- He outlined a proactive, attacking approach and said he wants his team to be "disgusting" to play against when defending.
- Acknowledging that "winning games will allow me to buy time," he plans incremental tweaks as a congested week brings Roma on Thursday and a League Cup final with St Mirren next weekend.
- Trusted assistant Kwame Ampadu joins as No. 2 from their MLS stints, bringing deep knowledge of the British game; Nancy said Ampadu’s presence was essential and that his deputy was emotional about the move.
- His introduction was held at Lennoxtown without senior executives present, and as he prepares for his first visit to Celtic Park he has stressed forging a quick bond with fans, with parts of the standing section still closed.
