Early life

Nancy was born in Le Havre to a Guadeloupean father and Senegalese-Cape Verdean mother. His father was in the French navy, and Nancy spent his early childhood in different regions, including Guadeloupe, Martinique, Djibouti and Reunion. At the age of 11, his family moved to Toulon and there he started playing organized soccer before moving to the academy of Toulon at the age of 14.[2]

Career

Nancy was a professional footballer in France, and began his career with Toulon. He also had stints at various amateur and semi-professional clubs, including Beaucairois, Raon-l'Étape, Ivry, Noisy-le-Sec, Châtellerault, and Orléans before moving to Canada in 2005 with the UQAM team.[3][4]

Managerial career

After retiring as a footballer, Nancy coached AAA soccer from 2006 to 2007. He coached Quebec's provincial teams from 2007, and was also assistant technical director of the Association régionale de soccer de la Rive-Sud in 2008.

He was part of the Montreal Impact Academy since its inception in 2011 starting with the U18s, then the U21s in 2014, followed by the U16s from 2014 to 2015. He was promoted to assistant coach for the first team on 7 January 2016.[5] On 8 March 2021, following Thierry Henry's resignation, Nancy was promoted to head coach for CF Montréal becoming the club's first coach following their re-branding from the Impact name.[6] Nancy led CFM to the post-season in 2022, finishing with the second-best record in the East, and lost to New York City FC in the conference semifinals.
