Will Still set to be appointed successor to Franck Haise at RC Lens | OneFootball

Franck Haise’s move to OGC Nice is yet to be confirmed, however, RC Lens have been quick to secure his replacement. According to Foot Mercato, Will Still is set to be named the new manager of Les Sang et Or.

Still parted ways with Stade de Reims with just two games remaining in the Ligue 1 season, bringing to an end an almost two-season spell with Les Stadistes. Mid-season, Still, born in Belgium to British parents, told The Athletic that he wished to return to England. British media had linked Still with a move to two EFL Championship clubs: Norwich City and Sunderland.

However, it looks as though the former Reims manager will now remain in France. Foot Mercato understands that the deal that will take Still to the Bollaert is almost complete and only the finishing touches need to be made before it is made official. Haise, who is expected to join Nice in the coming hours/ days, also has some small details to finalise before becoming manager of Le Gym on what is expected to be a two-year deal.
