"Celtic Football Club today announces that it has decided to terminate the contract of manager Wilfried Nancy, with immediate effect. The club thanks Wilfried for his efforts and wishes him and his family well for the future. Wilfried's assistants, Kwame Ampadu, Jules Gueguen, and Maxime Chalier will also be leaving the club and they take with them our good wishes. The club can also confirm that Paul Tisdale has left his position as head of football operations."
"He suffered six defeats in eight games, including losing 3-1 to both St. Mirren in the League Cup final and to Old Firm rivals Rangers on Saturday. Nancy also made headlines shortly after taking charge by bizarrely claiming he understood Scottish football because he came close to joining English side Carlisle United as a player, then made an impassioned plea for patience ahead of Saturday's meeting with Rangers."
Celtic dismissed Wilfried Nancy on January 5, 2026, after eight matches in charge. Nancy lost six of those eight games, including a 3-1 defeat to St. Mirren in the League Cup final and a 3-1 Old Firm loss to Rangers. Nancy had been appointed on December 3, following Martin O'Neill's interim spell, during which O'Neill won seven of eight. Nancy's assistants Kwame Ampadu, Jules Gueguen, and Maxime Chalier will also leave the club. Head of football operations Paul Tisdale has departed. Celtic have six Premiership defeats this season and sit six points behind Hearts.
