Wilfried Nancy is facing mounting pressure at Celtic after losing his first four games in charge, but the board has his back. The 48-year-old manager, who took 13th at Celtic, has held talks with the club hierarchy to discuss his plans and recruitment for the upcoming transfer windows. Despite the disappointing start, the club is aligned with Nancy’s vision and supports his system changes.
Nancy’s struggles are evident, with his team losing to Hearts, Roma, St Mirren, and Dundee United in his first 15 days. This losing streak is the worst for Celtic since 1978. Some fans are calling for his head, chanting “Martin O’Neill” during the Dundee United match, referencing the interim manager who had a successful stint.
Former Celtic striker Chris Sutton sympathizes with Nancy, citing the lack of pre-season preparation. “I think he should have come in and managed the situation. He’s come in and said, ‘I’ll be the coach and do it my way’,Sutton said.
Nancy’s focus is on Aberdeen next, aiming to break the losing streak at Celtic Park. The board is patient, but the atmosphere is tense.
