Celtic of Scotland attacker, Kelechi Iheanacho and his colleague are now awaiting the arrival of a new coach at the Scottish Premiership club, following the sack of Wilfried Nancy.
Sports247 reports that Iheanacho will be particularly concerned about the development, as he failed to get a spot in The Hoops’ squad during Nancy’s time at the helm.

Iheanacho’s absence was mostly due to a long-standing battle with injuries, which has blighted his summer arrival at Parkhead, after a spell on loan at English Championship side, Middlesbrough from Sevilla of Spain.
Incidentally, Nancy had been Iheanacho’s coach during his early days on loan at Columbus Crew of USA from Manchester City of England, but fitness issues limited his appearances under the French tactician.
The 2013 FIFA U-17 World Cup most valuable player and gold medalist will now hope for better tidings with The Bhoys, as all hands in Nancy’s backroom crew leave Celtic alongside the gaffer.
A report by Sun Sports revealed, “After a wretched run of six defeats in eight games, culminating in a 3-1 collapse to their fierce rivals Rangers at Celtic Park on Saturday, Nancy is no longer Hoops manager.
“The former MLS coach of the year made an impassioned plea for more time before the blockbuster clash against The Gers.
“But the plug was pulled by The Hoops’ board after furious fans stood outside the ground and filleted the players following the Rangers defeat.
“It means Celtic will now begin their search for their FOURTH manager this season after Brendan Rodgers, Martin O’Neill in the interim and Nancy have held the reins.”
