Sources: Columbus Crew, Celtic FC Finalizing Agreement for Wilfried Nancy Transfer
Wilfried Nancy, MLS Coach of the Year, is set to leave Columbus Crew after winning two major titles to become Celtic’s permanent manager, with staff negotiations ongoing.
- Celtic FC have formally contacted Columbus Crew and are working to finalize an agreement, with Wilfried Nancy expected to arrive before December 1 alongside his backroom team.
- After Brendan Rodgers resigned on Oct. 27, Celtic targeted Nancy, with Columbus Crew’s failure to reach the MLS play-offs accelerating talks last month.
- Wilfried Nancy has won MLS Cup in 2023 and the Leagues Cup in 2024, earning MLS Coach of the Year after joining Columbus Crew in 2022 following success with CF Montréal.
- A confirmed hire would free Celtic to pursue transfers next month, with Martin O'Neill, interim Celtic manager, and Shaun Maloney, interim assistant, stepping down and Wilfried Nancy targeting Wessam Abou Ali.
- The move would be Nancy's first job outside North America, with negotiations prolonged as Columbus Crew played hardball over compensation amid unrest at Parkhead.
