Will Still demanded to be joined by his brothers at Lens when negotiating to become new manager | OneFootball

In an interview with Téléfoot, Lens manager Will Still revealed his number one condition when he was negotiating to become the new manager of Les Sang et Or following the departure of Franck Haise. That condition was that he would be joined by his two brothers on the bench at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis.

Still’s wishes were granted as he became the manager of the Racing club. The brothers of the former Reims manager, Edward and Nicolas Still, have formed part of his coaching staff. Nicolas was also part of the Belgian-born head coach’s staff during his time at the Champagne club. Edward has previously been a coach at Kortrijk and Eupen.

The brothers have all gone into coaching despite having no playing experience at the professional level. Now a trio at Lens, the former Preston North End youth coach is proud to be working so closely with his brothers after it became a dealbreaker in negotiations. Commenting on working with his brothers, the Lens head coach said, “My first condition was that I want to be surrounded by my two brothers.”
