Celtic now making enquiries for new manager in the hours since Lawwell exit
Celtic is reportedly beginning inquiries regarding a new manager just a day after Peter Lawwell’s exit from the club and following yet another loss for Wilfried Nancy.
Lawwell states “abuse and threats” became “intolerable” while at Celtic.
This season has been a calamity for Celtic. The Bhoys seemed to have stabilized when they appointed experienced manager Martin O’Neill on an interim basis, and their title defense appeared to remain intact. However, a decision was made to bring in Nancy before a pivotal period, and fans in Glasgow have regretted that choice ever since. After losing to Dundee United, Nancy became the first Celtic manager since 1978 to endure four consecutive losses. In summary, it has been a challenging start for the new manager, and supporters are starting to lose faith.
Nancy’s initiation at Celtic Park certainly did not assist club chairman Lawwell, who announced that he would be resigning from his position in Scotland at the end of December due to “intolerable” harassment. The 66-year-old mentioned on the club’s website: “I believe I have demonstrated my capability to face and overcome challenges on various fronts, yet the harassment and threats from certain sources have intensified and are now unbearable. They have caused distress and concern for my family.

It’s been a tough start for Nancy.
“At this juncture in my life, I don’t need this. I can’t tolerate this and thus I part ways with the club that I have cherished for my entire life. The reasons and objectives of these critics can be examined by others. I would rather reflect on my tenure at Celtic with immense gratitude and fulfillment.” It appears that there is a strong possibility that Nancy may exit alongside the chairman. TeamTalk reports that Celtic is now making inquiries for a new manager.

Nancy views every match as a crucial must-win affair in the upcoming weeks. Their next challenge is a home match against Aberdeen in the Scottish Premiership, and a loss could jeopardize the new manager’s position within just five matches in charge. Parkhead officials are already worried and taken aback by Nancy’s unfortunate start, to the extent that they have discreetly begun searching for a backup plan and are already ‘sounding out’ potential candidates following yet another disappointing outcome on Wednesday.
The Frenchman, nevertheless, remains hopeful and told reporters after the defeat against Dundee United: “It’s unfamiliar for me to have four losses in succession. It is also a new experience for the players. “I understand their frustration. But all I can convey to them is that I felt we performed well. We are lacking the goals that could have benefitted us, and we are continuing to work on that to achieve victory in the next match. “We don’t have much time to practice, but when we do, we execute well. And again, that was a commendable performance. Unfortunately, the result wasn’t favorable.”
