Martin O'Neill tells of brief Wilfried Nancy Celtic handover chat

O'Neill urges patience as Nancy endures Celtic's worst start ever, highlighting tough opponents and limited preparation time for the new manager.

  • On Sunday, Wilfried Nancy remained winless after three matches, and Martin O'Neill urged fans to be patient and avoid quick judgments about the Celtic manager.
  • Nancy's short preparation time — about 10 or 12 days — and tough early fixtures against Roma, Hearts and a Cup Final shaped his challenging start at Celtic.
  • O'Neill, who had won seven of eight games as interim boss, handed over duties after a Wednesday home match against Dundee and said the handover meeting lasted 15 minutes.
  • Critics note Nancy's tactical changes have not fit the current squad, and supporters are urging a measured transition while O'Neill said he would not give uninvited advice.
  • O'Neill stressed the need for Nancy to bed in before the January window and praised Steve Walford and Shaun Maloney for helping him understand the squad amid African Cup of Nations absences.
