UPDATE: Wilfried Nancy is calling for trust and patience following his rocky start as head coach of Celtic. After suffering three consecutive losses, including a devastating defeat in the Premier Sports Cup final against St Mirren on July 15, 2023, Nancy is determined to turn around the team’s fortunes.
In a statement released shortly after the match, Nancy emphasized that actions will speak louder than words. “I know the expectations are high, and I take full responsibility,” he stated, calling for unity among players and fans alike as they navigate this challenging period.
The defeat in the cup final, which took place at Hampden Park, has left fans reeling and questioning the club’s direction under Nancy’s leadership. Former Celtic striker Chris Sutton expressed sympathy for the new coach, acknowledging the immense pressure he faces. “It’s tough for any manager to start with such high expectations,” Sutton commented, highlighting the need for patience.
Additionally, Stephen Kingsley of Hearts, the current leaders of the Scottish Premiership, conveyed confidence in his team’s ability to win, adding pressure on Celtic to regroup quickly. Kingsley said, “We go into any game knowing we can win,” setting a high standard for the competition.
As Nancy seeks to shift the narrative and restore Celtic’s competitive edge, all eyes will be on the team’s upcoming fixtures. Fans are eager to see if the new coach can translate his vision into results on the field. The immediate future of Celtic hinges on their next performance, and supporters are hoping for a turnaround that can restore faith in the club’s ambitions.
