Wilfried Nancy is settled and happy at Columbus Crew, but acknowledges he may be tempted elsewhere in the future.
Nancy impressed at Montreal between 2021 and 2022, securing a third-place finish in the latter year with an unfancied side, before leading the Crew to an MLS Cup win in 2023.
He was named MLS Coach of the Year in 2024 and there has been reported interest in him from elsewhere, including from Ligue 1 clubs as well as the USA men's national team, a job that was eventually taken by Mauricio Pochettino.
"Now, with my staff, everything for the moment works well," he told GOAL. "I'm happy in Columbus, and after that, we'll see. I come from Europe. Maybe, I can also come to, and coach, in Africa."

Mendy also addressed the future of star forward Cucho Hernandez, who registered 19 goals and 14 assists last season and has been linked with moves into Europe, as well as to Brazil and Mexico.
Hernandez has already featured in the Premier League for Watford and Nancy accepts it is inevitable that he will be attracting glances.
The Crew boss said: "When someone is good and is able to deliver good stuff, it's totally normal that there is an interest. I'm not surprised. So now, we'll see what we're going to do. He's here with us now."
