Celtic have confirmed that they have decided to terminate the contract of manager Wilfried Nancy with immediate effect, while Head of Football Operations Paul Tisdale has also left the club.
Nancy was appointed back in December, joining the club following the departure of interim manager Martin O’Neill. It’s been a disastrous tenure for the former Columbus Crew manager, topped off by losing against their Glasgow rivals Rangers 3-1 at the weekend on their own turf.
