Wilfried Nancy does not believe that this Saturday’s crucial Old Firm clash against Rangers will define his future at Celtic.
Nancy faces a tough start as Celtic struggles
A defeat at Parkhead this weekend would mark the sixth loss in eight matches for Celtic’s new manager, which adds further pressure after their recent 2-0 defeat to Motherwell, where Celtic was outplayed from start to finish. Despite efforts, Nancy couldn’t find many positives in the performance, considering it one of the worst under his leadership.
Nancy remains optimistic, confident that he can turn the situation around. While there was some positivity from back-to-back wins against Aberdeen and Livingston, the loss to Motherwell has raised doubts about the team’s direction. With Rangers now able to level points with Celtic on Saturday, the pressure is mounting.
Reflections on performance and future planning
“Each game is important for me and for the team,” Nancy said when asked about his future and the upcoming Rangers clash. “I don’t think about my future. I think about what I need to do now to improve the team.”
Nancy also mentioned he expects to receive the backing necessary in the winter transfer window to carry out the needed changes to improve the squad. He aims to reshape the team in a way that enhances their overall performance.
Though his future remains uncertain, Nancy believes the team can improve. He admitted that the match against Motherwell was tough, particularly due to the mistakes made in the first half that led to the first goal. However, he emphasized that they will keep working to be more consistent.
