Wilfried Nancy sacked as Celtic manager after 33 days

Wilfried Nancy has been sacked as Celtic's manager after just 33 days in charge.

It comes after a 3-1 loss to Rangers on Saturday - the team's sixth loss in eight games.

Former manager Martin O'Neill - who was replaced by Nancy - is returning to the team again until another coach is found.

O'Neill has already coached Celtic this season, and during that time the team won seven out of eight of their games.

Wilfried Nancy signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with the Scottish champions and took charge on 4 December.

But Celtic are now looking for their third permanent manager of the season.

The Frenchman's time as Celtic manager is the shortest of any other permanent manager in the club's history.

Nancy changed the team's playing style, and former Celtic striker Chris Sutton told the BBC: "He needed to adapt. Celtic have played with a back four as long as I can remember and he came in halfway through the season, with a squad which, in truth, is pretty incapable, and trashed the team."

In a statement, Celtic said "a further update will be provided to supporters as soon as is practical."
