Following a particularly difficult season leading to his relegation to the Championship, the Southampton club aims to rebuild and quickly regain a place in the Premier League. In this perspective, the management of the English club has identified a number of coaches who are likely to drive this renewal, including young technician Will Still, currently head of RC Lens, who is receiving special attention. Southampton sees in him a profile with an innovative vision, able to breathe new dynamism into the sport project and drive the team towards success.

Will Still, only 32 years old, distinguished himself by his outstanding performances at the Reims Stadium and at RC Lens, where he demonstrated his talent and ability to manage a professional team. Despite the difficulties encountered this season in the RC Lens, notably due to the departures of key players during the season, he remains on a path leading to a total of points equivalent to that of Franck Haise the previous season. The interested person never concealed his desire to train in England, an aspiration that seems to have found a favorable echo on the side of Southampton.

The interest of the English club, however, comes in a delicate context, as Will Still had recently stated that he was planning his career next season with RC Lens. This situation is all the more intriguing as the coach’s companion, residing in London, faces serious health problems. For the time being, the RC Lens prefers to be cautious, remembering the example of Franck Haise, who made similar statements last season before joining the Nice GOC. The veracity of this information and the motivation behind this potential offer therefore remain to be confirmed.
