Manager sacked after 33 days in charge

Mon Jan 05, 2026 3:19 pm

Celtic have sacked manager Wilfried Nancy after just eight games and 33 days in charge.

He lost six of his eight games in charge, including Sunday's home gane against Rangers and the Scottish League Cup final against St Mirren.

The Frenchman was appointed in December following Brendan Rodgers leaving the club in October, with Martin O'Neill as caretaker manager between Rodgers leaving and Nancy taking over.

Nancy was on a 3 and a half year contract.

Seems the most sensible choice. After they appointed Nancy, O'Neill said he had told them he would have been happy to stay on.

They were doing well with O'Neill too.

They are the most self entitled fans in football.

Personally I’m gutted and think they should have given the guy more time, about ten years more.

He lost 6 in 8, you absolutely cannot do that at an old firm club.
