At 30 years of age, Will Still became the youngest manager in Europe’s top five leagues when he replaced Óscar García at Reims in Ligue 1 at the end of 2022. He has had a remarkable rise to the top, and here, he tells The Coaches’ Voice his story.

Still, an Englishman who was born and raised in Belgium, made the decision that coaching was what he wanted to do following a period at Preston North End. After returning to Belgium to look for work, he went knocking on doors of Belgian football coaches to try and get himself a job. Eventually, his approach paid off.

As a child, Still was always fascinated by the intricacies of football tactics, and he used to test himself on Football Manager, which he admits he became “obsessed” with. Incredibly, as he grew up and became a professional coach and then manager, he was still trying things out in the game as well as doing the job for real.

Now permanent Reims manager and doing a fantastic job in Ligue 1, Still tells us how he has got to where he is, and how Football Manager has played a part in his journey.
