LENS: Former Reims manager Will Still has joined RC Lens as their new head coach, the Ligue 1 side said today.
The 31-year-old Belgium-born Englishman has joined the club on a three-year contract, Lens said in a statement.
Still was appointed as Reims manager when he was 30, becoming the youngest manager in Europe’s top five football leagues.
Reims, under him, had a 19-match unbeaten run in all competitions.
He left the club in May.
“Will was our top priority to take over as coach,” Lens managing director Pierre Dreossi said.
“(He is) a unifying personality obsessed with winning. A true enthusiast, a conqueror and a fine tactician.”
