The Frenchman was confirmed as the new manager of the William Hill Premiership champions on Wednesday evening, signing a two-and-a-half-year deal.
McCulloch interviewed Nancy today, and on X, he has since explained how his name should be said.
Indeed, Wilfried should sound like ‘Wilfreed’ and Nancy just like that, and not Noncy.
According to the man himself It’s Wilfried (as in ‘Wilfreed’) and Nancy (not Noncy). 🍀

“Kwame. I love him,” Nancy told Celtic TV . “Simple as that, because first of all, he did play football. He had the same background as me, I would say, in terms of academy and professional level as a coach.
“And yes, this is a person that, again, is genuine. He has a feel also for the people. He’s able to connect with people really well. And also something that I like to use as a tool, challenge the players or support them.
“And Kwame is really good with that. And yes, this is also the oldest guy in my staff. So sometimes he can bring a lot of his wisdom. So for me, this is so important.
“And after that, we have Jules Gueguen, fitness guy. He has a background also in football. He played a bit, not with the highest level, but he played. And really good to also connect with people, because yes, fitness could be sometimes boring, but I like also the structure, but I like also the creativity within the structure.
“And Jules is so good also to bring this creativity, because sometimes it could be redundant.
“Max Challier, video analyst and French guy. And also he has a background as a player.
“So to connect and to organise things, this is really interesting.”
