After his departure from Lens, Will Still approaches Southampton

The departure of the former Stade de Reims coach (2022-2024) was in part due to his desire to be closer to his partner, who was hospitalized in London for infectious encephalitis and fell into a coma in March. According to Sky Sports , Will Still has a verbal agreement with the club on the south coast of England, of which he could become the coach by the end of next week.

According to the British media, Still could even attend the match against Arsenal on Sunday (5 p.m.). Sheffield Wednesday manager Danny Rohl was also among the coaches targeted, but wanted to remain patient regarding his future as Southampton were keen to recruit a new manager this week.

After a disastrous season in the Premier League (12 points taken in 37 matches), Southampton have changed managers twice this season: Ivan Juric first succeeded Russel Martin on the Saints bench in December, before being himself replaced at the beginning of April by one of his former assistants, Simon Rusk, appointed as interim.
