After the first contacts, in June, the former Stade de Reims technician responded favorably to the approaches of RC Lens and explained this Friday concerning his decision-making process. “It was obvious, I never hid my ambitions and my love for the settlements. I didn’t think for very long. Lens is an institution, an incredible story. It is the most English of the French clubs.

The style of play should be significantly similar to that advocated by Franck Haise, to whom Still does not want to compare himself.

I will rely on it,” said Still, eager, therefore, to “never” compare himself to his predecessor. “He is a legend of Lens, of French football. I like the coach, his personality. I am not here to replace him. Hats off to him for everything he has achieved. Going from L2 to C1 is impressive. I simply want to write a new chapter in the club’s history, which I hope will be a long one.“, affirmed the new coach of the Sang et Or. Reunited for the first time in his career with his two brothers (Nicolas and Edward), Will Still will not change in his communication, sometimes judged as going far outside the norm.

He also saw this file beforehand with RC Lens, and explained it. “I’m just normal. I don’t use words I don’t understand“, confided the one who felt he still had to progress in this register, at only 31 years old. “I’m only 31 years old, I’m going to make mistakes but I’ve learned a lot over the last 18 months, for better or worse. wrong. But I will never take myself for someone else,” he clarified.
