Summary

Wilfried Nancy is reportedly in contention for a return to MLS management after a brief and unsuccessful stint with Celtic that lasted 33 days. Appointed to succeed Martin O'Neill, Nancy struggled with the team, losing his first four matches. Since his departure, he has turned down several MLS offers as he seeks another job in Europe.
