Celtic manager Wilfried Nancy sacked after eight games in charge
Wilfried Nancy was dismissed after six losses in eight games; Martin O'Neill returns as interim manager to stabilize Celtic's campaign amid fan protests and tactical issues.
- On Jan 5, 2026, Celtic Football Club terminated Wilfried Nancy's contract with immediate effect, the club said, following Saturday's 3-1 Old Firm loss to Rangers after eight games.
- A board frustrated by poor results and a reckless playing style acted amid seething protests on the Celtic Way after Nancy was unveiled as Brendan Rodgers' permanent successor on December 3.
- That run produced four defeats on the spin, including losses to Hearts, Roma, St Mirren, and Dundee United, prompting chants of `Nancy get to f***`.
- The club confirmed that Kwame Ampadu, Jules Gueguen, Maxime Chalier and Paul Tisdale have left, and said a further update will be provided to supporters soon.
- Nancy instantly changed the formation from Martin O'Neill's style, and the sacking of Nancy and the coaching team creates immediate upheaval at Parkhead affecting Celtic's domestic and European competitions.
