Will Still in talks over return to French football
Will Still in talks over return to French football Former Southampton manager Will Still is reportedly in talks over a return to Ligue 1 following an ill-fated spell in England. The Belgian earned his reputation as a coach while in charge of Stade de Reims before taking over at Lens . Still was then appointed Southampton manager for the start of the 2025/26 season but was sacked in November after picking up just two league wins.
However, Still is now close to returning to management in France. According to French outlet RMC Sport , the 33-year-old is in talks with FC Lorient over taking over for next season. Lorient are currently ninth in Ligue 1 this season with one game remaining and could finish as high as eighth although the chances are slim and rely on Strasbourg losing their two final remaining fixtures.
