Wilfried Nancy’s spell as Celtic manager has ended after 32 days.
Nancy has been fired as manager of Celtic, the Scottish Premiership club announced on Monday. The former Columbus Crew head coach was hired by Celtic on December 3, taking over from Martin O’Neill, who was serving on an interim basis.
Nancy endured a difficult start in Glasgow, losing his first two games and becoming the first manager in the club’s history to do so. Celtic would lose four games in a row for the first time since 1978, including a defeat in the Scottish League Cup final against St. Mirren.
Despite seeing his team beat Aberdeen and Livingston, recent back-to-back losses to Motherwell and rivals Rangers led to Nancy’s dismissal.
In addition to Nancy’s resignation, Paul Tisdale has left his position as head of football operations at Celtic, the club also announced.
“The Club thanks Wilfried for his efforts and wishes him and his family the best for the future,” said a statement from the club. “Wilfried’s assistants, Kwame Ampadu, Jules Gueguen and Maxime Chalier, will also leave the club and they take with them our good wishes.”
Celtic are second in the SPFL standings with 38 points, six points behind leaders Hearts.
They are also 24th in the Europa League table with two league matches remaining this winter. Clubs ranked 25-36 will be eliminated from European action this season.
