"He is the man that will be coming in," O'Neill told TalkSPORT when asked about reports linking Nancy with the vacancy."
"I thought it was over on Sunday, but there's some paperwork still to be dealt with. Wednesday will definitely be my final game. It's been surreal. It's like a part of your life where you think, 'did that really happen?' Am I delighted that I've done it? Absolutely."
"There's a really good spirit within the dressing room. Of course, that comes from winning football matches but there's a great togetherness as well."
Martin O'Neill will leave after Wednesday's game against Dundee, with Wilfried Nancy taking charge of Celtic for the first time on Saturday. O'Neill returned as interim manager in October after Brendan Rodgers's resignation and previously led Celtic to three Scottish Premiership titles between 2000–01 and 2003–04. Celtic won six and lost one of seven matches under O'Neill, with the only defeat coming to Midtjylland in the Europa League. A 2-1 victory at Hibernian moved Celtic to within two points of Premiership leaders Hearts. Nancy's arrival was delayed by paperwork. Nancy managed 113 MLS games with Columbus Crew and won the 2023 MLS Cup, holding a 49% win ratio for the club.
