Wim Jansen: Former Celtic manager dies aged 75

Wim Jansen, the former Celtic manager, has passed away at the age of 75.

His death was announced by Feyenoord who paid tribute to a "special person and someone who was associated with the club all his life".

Jansen spent one season at Parkhead but is remembered as the manager who stopped Rangers winning 10-in-a-row in 1998. He completed a double by also lifting the Scottish League Cup.

The Dutchman was also responsible for the signing of Henrik Larsson, who he worked with at Feyenoord before bringing with him to Glasgow in 1997.

Jansen’s death comes after it was revealed last last year that he had been diagnosed with early onset dementia.

Feyenoord posted a short statement on Twitter which read: "A wonderful person and great Feyenoord player is no more.

"Wim Jansen, rest in peace…"

Jansen made over 500 appearances for Feyenoord, which included beating Celtic in the 1970 European Cup final in Milan. He also went on to manage the Rotterdam club.
