Three coaches have officially joined Celtic alongside Wilfried Nancy.

The Frenchman was confirmed as the new manager of the Parkhead club earlier today.

Nancy joins Celtic on a two-and-a-half-year deal from MLS outfit Columbus Crew, five weeks after previous boss Brendan Rodgers handed in his resignation.

Martin O'Neill returned to take charge of the team in the interim period, but Nancy has now arrived after over a month of speculation.

And with him, the 48-year-old has brought assistant coach Kwame Ampadu, assistant coach and fitness coach Jules Gueguen and video performance coach Maxime Chalier to be part of his Celtic backroom team.

Speaking to celticfc.com after being confirmed as the new manager of the William Hill Premiership champions, Nancy said: "Celtic is one of the world’s proper football clubs, real atmosphere and heart and soul, real high standards and real demands, which I am ready for.

"I know the history, I know the values of Celtic and I know what is expected of me on this journey. I know what Celtic means to so many people and my No. 1 aim will be simple - to give our fans a strong, exciting, attacking, winning football team they can be so proud of.

"I look forward to seeing all our fans very soon and I hope we can enjoy some great moments together."
