"The 48-year-old signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with the Scottish champions after the conclusion of the Major League Soccer season with Columbus Crew and took charge on 4 December. But, having won seven of their eight games under interim manager Martin O'Neill, Celtic's form slumped dramatically under Nancy. He became the first Celtic manager to lose his first two games in charge before suffering a 3-1 defeat by St Mirren in the Premier Sports Cup final and a 2-1 reverse at Dundee United."
"It was the first time Celtic had lost four games in a row since a similar run under the legendary Jock Stein in 1978. They won back-to-back league matches against Aberdeen and Livingston to stop the rot, but were beaten 2-0 at Motherwell on Tuesday and collapsed in a dismal second-half at home to Rangers. Celtic have also removed Paul Tisdale from his position as head of football operations."
Wilfried Nancy has left Celtic following Saturday's 3-1 defeat by Rangers, his sixth loss in eight matches. Nancy signed a two-and-a-half-year contract after the Major League Soccer season with Columbus Crew and took charge on 4 December. Celtic's form declined sharply after seven wins in eight under interim manager Martin O'Neill, with Nancy losing his first two games, then suffering a 3-1 defeat by St Mirren in the Premier Sports Cup final and a 2-1 reverse at Dundee United. The club endured four successive defeats for the first time since 1978. Celtic also removed Paul Tisdale from his role and dismissed Nancy's coaching staff.
