Nancy must 'hit ground running' - Sutton
NeutralSports

- Wilfried Nancy has been appointed as the new manager of Celtic FC on a two-and-a-half year contract, succeeding Brendan Rodgers. The announcement came just before Celtic's recent 1-0 victory over Dundee, and Nancy's first match in charge will be against league leaders Hearts this Sunday, followed by a Europa League clash against Roma and a Premier Sports Cup final against St Mirren.
- The appointment of Nancy, who has no prior European managerial experience, signifies a pivotal moment for Celtic as they aim to regain their competitive edge in both domestic and European competitions. Chris Sutton emphasized the immediate pressure on Nancy to perform and suggested he seek guidance from former manager Martin O'Neill.
- This transition reflects a broader trend in football where clubs are increasingly looking to MLS for managerial talent, as seen with Nancy's move from Columbus Crew. The decision also highlights the ongoing challenges Celtic faces in maintaining their status in Scottish football, especially with the recent success of rivals like Hearts and the managerial changes within the league.
