Lens name Will Still as priority target to replace Franck Haise as new manager | OneFootball

According to L’Équipe, Lens have named Will Still as their priority target to become their new manager. Their current manager Franck Haise is set to leave the Stade Bollaert-Delelis to join Nice after Francesco Farioli left to join Ajax.

Still is unemployed following his departure as Reims manager in early May. The former Beerschot coach had been rumoured with a return to England and has made it known that he would one day like to manage in his homeland. However, with Lens accelerating their interest in the English head coach, it looks like he could be remaining in France. Contacts have been established between Les Sang et Or and the former Reims manager’s representatives.

Bruno Genesio an option

Whilst Still is the priority target for Lens, he is not the only option. Former Rennes manager Bruno Genesio is a name who has also been included in the shortlist for the soon-to-be vacant position. Lens are keen to conclude their search for a new manager quickly.
