Dec 3 : Celtic have named Wilfried Nancy as their new manager, the Scottish Premiership club said on Wednesday, with the 48-year-old Frenchman signing a two-and-a-half-year contract.

Interim manager Martin O'Neill will take charge for the final time in Wednesday's home game against Dundee before Nancy officially begins his term on Thursday.

Nancy joins Celtic from MLS club Columbus Crew where he won the MLS Cup and Leagues Cup, and was named MLS Coach of the Year in 2024. He also won the Canadian Championship in his first managerial role at CF Montreal.

"I am so happy to be named Celtic Manager, it is a massive honour for myself and my family," Nancy said in a club statement.
