Exclusive: Celtic make Wilfried Nancy sack call
Wilfried Nancy is expected to be sacked if Celtic do not win their next two matches, sources have told Football Insider.
The recently-appointed Frenchman, 48, has lost his opening four games in charge amid a fans mutiny at how the club is being run.
Supporters have called for Celtic to sack Nancy and re-appoint Martin O’Neill, who won seven of his eight matches in interim charge.
Sources say that Nancy is set to oversee Sunday’s home league match against Aberdeen as well as the trip to Livingston next Saturday.
But he will not survive beyond those two fixtures if Celtic do not win both games.
It means his reign could be over after just six matches, which would be a remarkable admission from the club of a disastrous appointment.
Wilfried Nancy is running out of time at Celtic
Nancy was appointed the Celtic manager on 3 December, but is already under huge scrutiny as he fights to keep his job.
The 2-1 defeat to Dundee United on Wednesday even saw a Celtic fan throw something at Nancy as they missed an opportunity to gain a vital three points in the Scottish Premiership.
This has now left the Old Firm side six points off table toppers Hearts. However, the Hoops do have a game in hand.
Nancy was safe from the sack after Celtic’s defeat to St. Mirren in the Scottish League Cup but the board will dismiss him if results do not improve immediately.
Nancy’s reign at Celtic Park so far in numbers
To date, Nancy has overseen four games as Celtic manager, all of which have ended in defeat.
As a result, the Frenchman has become the first manager in the history of the Old Firm clubs to lose all four of his opening games.
On top of this, the Hoops have managed to score just three goals across his reign to date, and no more than one in each match.
In comparison, they have conceded 10 times, including shipping three times on two separate occasions.
