"Eight games. Six defeats. Just like that, the Wilfried Nancy Celtic tenure is over. A nightmare spell has ended with the Frenchman setting records for all the wrong reasons after his arrival from Columbus Crew. Replacing interim boss Martin O'Neill, who had steadied a rocky ship, Nancy has left the club capsized after the shortest managerial reign in the club's history. From mini tactics boards to scrutinised social media activity, here is how Nancy's shambolic two months in Glasgow unfolded."
"O'Neill was afforded the same amount of games in charge as his successor, but that's where the similarity ends. Across his eight games, O'Neill won all-but one, a 3-1 away reverse to Midtjylland. Outside of that, Rangers were beaten in a League Cup semi-final and Feyenoord were humbled in Rotterdam. O'Neill's Celtic had cut Hearts' advantage at the Scottish Premiership summit to three points by the time the leaders were due to visit Parkhead."
Wilfried Nancy arrived from Columbus Crew to manage Celtic, replacing interim boss Martin O'Neill. Nancy lasted eight games, suffering six defeats and becoming the club's shortest managerial reign. Martin O'Neill had won all but one of his eight matches, reducing the gap to Hearts before Nancy's debut. Nancy implemented a 3-4-3 system, lost 2-1 at home to Hearts, and faced intense public scrutiny over tactics, footwear and use of a handheld tactics board. Celtic then performed poorly against Roma in the Europa League as opponents exposed defensive weaknesses, with Evan Ferguson scoring twice.
