I love him,&#8221; Nancy told <a href=\"https:\/\/celticfc.tv\/?ref=ed_direct\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Celtic TV<\/a> . &#8220;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.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;And yes, this is a person that, again, is genuine. He has a feel also for the people. He&#8217;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.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;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.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;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.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;And Jules is so good also to bring this creativity, because sometimes it could be redundant.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;Max Challier, video analyst and French guy. And also he has a background as a player.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;So to connect and to organise things, this is really interesting.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Frenchman was confirmed as the new manager of the William Hill Premiership champions on Wednesday evening, signing&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":300179,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-300178","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/300178","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=300178"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/300178\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/300179"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=300178"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=300178"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=300178"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
