"I am so happy to be named Celtic manager, it is a massive honour for myself and my family. Before I say anything else I want to do one thing I want to thank the great Martin O'Neill and Shaun Maloney for all they have done in recent weeks with the team. The job they have done has been fantastic."
"These guys have given so much to the club across so many years and I know our fans, like me, all recognise the brilliant job they have done during this recent period. They have my total respect and my total gratitude. I hope to meet them both very soon and thank them personally. Now its up to me to carry on this great work and carry our great club forward and I can't wait to get going and become part of such a brilliant institution."
Wilfried Nancy has been appointed permanent Celtic manager on a two-and-a-half-year contract to replace Brendan Rodgers, who was dismissed in October. Celtic sit two points behind Scottish Premiership leaders Hearts with a game in hand after winning four league matches under interim management. The interim team beat Rangers in a League Cup semi-final to reach a final against St Mirren on 14 December, giving Nancy an immediate chance to win a trophy. Nancy won the MLS Cup in 2023 and the Leagues Cup in 2024, was named MLS coach of the year, and led Columbus Crew to the Concacaf Champions Cup final.
