Columbus Crew have announced that three members of their coaching staff are joining Wilfried Nancy at Celtic.
Surprisingly when Celtic announced the appointment of their new manager there was no comment on any other staff members.
Gavin Strachan and Stevie Woods remained after the resignation of Brendan Rodgers. Shaun Maloney and Stephen McManus were redeployed to first team duties with Mark Fotheringham brought in to assist Martin O’Neill.
With less than three days until a top of the table clash with Hearts there is a need for continuity. Nancy is Celtic’s first mid-season permanent change of manager since Lou Macrai in 1993.
While Celtic were silent on the issue the Columbus Crew website announced:
It is unclear whether Celtic will host a media conference to introduce Nancy to supporters. There could be some interviews released on Celtic TV.
The players will report to Lennoxtown but with 10 of them starting three matches over a seven day span it is unlikely that there will be much time spent on the training pitch.
Over his first eight days in charge Nancy faces matches against Hearts, Roma and St Mirren.
There are two matches a week through until January 3, after that Nancy gets a full week to prepare for the match at home to Dundee United.
That schedule is bound to test Nancy, especially with the Celtic squad being stretched tightly.
Last night Marcelo Saracchi was substituted during the first half with what appeared to be a repeat of his hamstring injury.
The on loan defender suffered a hamstring pull against Kilmarnock on November 9 but came off the bench in last week’s win over Feyenoord.
Goalscorer Daizen Maeda suffered a nasty cheek injury and reappeared wearing ahead bandage after his 11th minute header earned Celtic full points.
Alistair Johnston, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Jota and Callum Osmand are out of action long term. There has been no recent updates on the injuries to James Forrest and Kelechi Iheanacho.
