Yang Hyun-joon (23, Celtic), Korea's top side resource prospect, is also expected to change his position. Celtic replaced Wilfred Nancy (48), who suffered poor performance, and appointed Martin O'Neill (73) in a surprise move.

Celtic announced on its official website on the 6th (Korea Standard Time), "We will terminate our contract with Coach Nancy," adding, "Coach O'Neill will join as the head coach to lead the team until the end of this season."

O'Neill, who returned to Celtic for the first time in about 20 years since 2005, said: "I'm very happy and honored to be in charge of the team again. "I'm looking forward to getting back to work with the players," he said. "We all would have hoped things would flow differently under coach Nancy. Personally, I wish him all the best in everything he does. Coach Nancy is a great person and I'm confident that he will succeed again in the future."

Celtic interim chairman Brian Wilson said: "I'm very disappointed that the situation is like this with Nancy. "I wish only good luck for coach Nancy and her family in the future," he said. "Coach O'Neill is a coach well known to Celtic's players, staff and fans. "He has an unrivaled reputation in the soccer world and a deep commitment to Celtic," he said.

CEO Michael Nicholson said, "We are very excited to welcome O'Neill back by the end of the season. "We will spare no support to solve the challenges we face in the second half of the season," O'Neill said, adding, "Coach O'Neill is delighted to be with Celtic again. We are focusing on the success of the club," he explained.

Coach Nancy was appointed on December 4th last year and signed a two-and-a-half-year contract. However, he left the team in 33 days after playing only eight games.

The poor performance was painful. He was the first Celtic manager to lose four consecutive games following his two wins and six losses during his tenure, and was disgraced as the shortest-serving manager in Celtic's 139-year history, founded in 1887.

Currently, Celtic are in second place in the Scottish Premiership (SPL), with 12 wins, two draws and six losses and 38 points, six points behind Hearts (44 points).

The replacement of the head coach is expected to be a variable for Yang Hyun-joon, who has recently burst his potential as a side defender. Coach Nancy changed the existing four-back system to 3-4-1-2 and attempted an unconventional change to use winger Yang Hyun-joon as a wingback.

The team's performance was poor, but Yang Hyun-joon's transformation as a wingback was a definite success. Yang Hyun-joon, who had not been a solid starting player before, started in seven of the eight games under coach Nancy, and played as a side defense and scored two goals in the last three games.

However, as the coach who led the tactical change stepped down and O'Neill's interim coach system entered, Yang Hyun-joon even had the possibility of competing for the starting position again in the striker position.
