Wilfried Nancy’s message to his Columbus Crew team should excite Celtic fans

After beating LAFC in the final of the MLS Cup, Nancy’s on-pitch post-match interview is beautiful to watch because it gives Celtic fans a taste of the man and the coach.

Nancy told the MLS, “So they have grown a lot as a player, yes, but as a person, because we started and I told them, guys, ‘Impossible is an opinion. Just enjoy it, and you gotta go.’

“And this is what happened. This is unbelievable.

“We play our way. I’m so proud. Yes, we won, but as a coach for me, the most important thing is not about winning. I told them today.

“I told them because when they were kids, they wanted to win already. The idea is to have a clear vision and create connection with people and also as a team.”

Celtic-bound Wilfried Nancy’s MLS win rate

Nancy is known for his attack-minded and high-pressing style of football, much like Ange Postecoglou.

So what has his win rate been as a manager in the MLS? Let’s take a look:

• CF Montréal: P79 W37 D17 L25 – 46.84%

• Columbus Crew: P136 W69 D37 L30 – 50.74%

At Celtic, fans will expect a higher win percentage rate and looking at how highly-rated Nancy is, supporters will expect this.

But looking at the footage, there is no doubt that Celtic are getting a manager who can connect to players and fans and that is something everyone connected to the club needs right now.
