Will Still and Reims, it’s over. This Thursday during a meeting held between President Jean-Pierre Caillot, Managing Director Mathieu Lacour and Still, the different parties decided, by mutual agreement, to separate with immediate effect. Although under contract until 2025, the Belgian-British had already mentioned a possible return to England. He will therefore not continue the adventure next season. His younger brother, Nicolas, also an assistant at Reims, is also leaving the club and should follow him to his new club.
“I thank Stade de Reims, President Caillot and Mathieu Lacour for giving me this unique opportunity and for supporting me throughout my journey here. I will be eternally grateful to Stade de Reims as well as everyone involved directly or indirectly with the club. I would like to thank in particular all the players with whom I was able to work, all the technical, performance, analytical, medical staff as well as the stewards, but also and above all all the supporters of this wonderful club,” expressed Still. Before adding: “Our run of 19 games without defeat last season as well as the spectacular matches at Delaune will remain unique moments for me. Delaune and Champagne will always have a special place in my life and I will remain the number one supporter of the Rouge et Blanc.”
After a coaching career in Belgium, the brilliant coach joined Reims during the 2021-2022 season as an assistant before finally being propelled to the head of the club after the dismissal of Oscar Garcia. At that moment, he became the youngest coach in the five biggest European championships at just 30 years old. With three days remaining, Stade de Reims is in 11th place in Ligue 1.
