Football Manager fanatic Still extends Reims stay and hires his brother as his assistant

talksport.com, 1 June 2023, 19:50

Will Still has signed a new contract with French side Reims that will run until the summer of 2025.

The English-Belgian coach is one of Europe's most up-and-coming managers having risen from video analyst to first-team manager at a rapid rate.

Having managed at Lierse and Beerschot in Belgium, Still was appointed as head coach of Ligue 1 outfit Reims in October last year with relegation from the French top flight a concern.

But with one match remaining, Reims are sitting in 11th spot in Ligue 1 with the chance to secure a top-half finish with a victory over Montpellier.

Still has also appointed his 26-year-old brother, Nicolas, to be his assistant manager.

A Football Manager fanatic, Still has become something of a cult hero among supporters as a result of him not yet holding a UEFA Pro Licence.

It led Reims having to pay £22,000 for every match he oversees in the dugout, but Still has stated that the club are no longer footing the bill.

That is because the West Ham fan has now started the course at the National Football Centre near Brussels, where he visits on a monthly basis.

Speaking on Drive, talkSPORT host Andy Goldstein asked Still whether Reims are continuing to pay out the hefty sum of money.

Still replied: "No, that fine has finally come to an end as the Pro Licence course that I'm on has started."

Pressed on whether he has the qualifications now, Still remarked: "I've not finished it, but I've started it and I'm enrolled in it, so it's ongoing."
