Celtic have confirmed the departure of Wilfried Nancy following Saturday’s 3-1 Old Firm defeat.

The Frenchman succeeded Brendan Rodgers at Celtic Park at the start of December but was relieved of his duties after just 33 days in the job.

Celtic confirm Nancy exit

“Celtic Football Club today announces that it has decided to terminate the contract of manager Wilfried Nancy, with immediate effect,” a statement read on Celtic’s official website.

“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. We thank Paul for the contribution he has made in that role.

“A further update will be provided to supporters as soon as is practical.”

Nancy endured a disastrous stint in Glasgow, losing six of the eight matches he took charge of following his Columbus Crew exit.

Saturday’s 3-1 loss to rivals Rangers leaves Celtic six points behind league leaders Hearts.
