Wolecki Black had previously been vocal about what he perceived to be a half-hearted attitude by both Celtic and Rangers towards their women’s teams.
He takes charge of a side who – during the five-year tenure of David Haley – reached two of the last three SWPL Cup finals, albeit suffering a crushing 9-0 defeat to Hibs in May’s showpiece game.
Despite that humbling, Celtic have been on an upward trajectory – one that Wolecki Black can continue all the way into the Champions League.
“At Glasgow City, we managed to get to the quarter finals of the Champions League, and I’d love to think at this club we could compete at that level,” he said.
“To follow in the footsteps of the men’s team, that would be phenomenal. They have the resources, the conditions, the facilities; everything’s here for a winning team.
“I was previously critical of the Old Firm for maybe not pushing the women’s teams forward. But having been in and out of this stadium for the last couple of weeks, I’ve realised I was misinformed.
“I think it’s just about building confidence, getting a real togetherness with the players and improving their communication on and off the park.
“Recruitment is going to be vital in that. If we’re going to compete, we’re going to have to have the good players.”
