Reims coach Will Still received a boost from his management for his trip to England.
Eager to take on a new challenge in his career after a year and a half spent on the Reims bench, Will Still took a trip to England. The young technician went to Sunderland, where he presented his ideas to the leaders in place. He is reportedly looking to take charge of the Black Cats right in the middle of the season.
Clot angry with Still!
The daily L’Equipe got wind of this secret trip across the Channel. As could be expected, the trip did not please those in charge of the Champagne club at all. Jean-Pierre Caillot, the president, expressed his dissatisfaction. This is what RMC Sport reports this Wednesday.
The strong man from Reims had reason to be furious. He has just extended his young coach. An extension accompanied by a departure clause, but this will only be applicable next summer. He has reason to feel betrayed by the man he launched as a coach at the highest level and to whom he gave carte blanche.
It’s not just the Reims management that is angry with Still. The fans too. If we rely on the various reactions on social networks, the Belgian technician has seen his popularity drop considerably over the last 24 hours. We appreciate his initiative even less as it came shortly after an infuriating defeat in the championship against Nice (1-2). After an encouraging start to the season, Reims let go and only obtained one victory in its last four matches.
