“Will Still and Stade de Reims Eye European Dreams as Negotiations for Contract Extension Begin”

The Stade de Reims travels to Rhone lands for the penultimate day of the season. Will Still and his men will put on the famous referee costume at the end of the season since they have the possibility of definitively annihilating OL’s last European hopes. In the meantime, the future looks bright in the Marne.

Current 11th in the standings, the Rémois have tumbled somewhat in recent weeks. Between a stunning defeat against RC Lens and an oh so frustrating draw against the Angers red lantern, the last matches at the Stade de Reims have been sources of tension and maximum annoyance for Will Still who certainly does not intend to conclude his first season at the helm of the club as well. In any case, he should be rewarded for his work.

A well-deserved reward

Indeed, Jean-Pierre Caillot is carrying out a long-term job to convince the Belgian-Englishman of an extension and to settle for the duration in the Stade de Reims project. VShe seems to have found the right words since L”Équipe affirms that the two parties are in the process of negotiations and Will Still should be granted a salary with emoluments assessed at €60,000 per month, i.e. the salary received by Régis Le Bris or Christophe Pélissier More than economic guarantees, these are sporting guarantees that the Reims coach would have demanded and these are taking shape since Jean-Pierre Caillot has tackled the extension until 2027 of Marshall Munetsi and Thomas Foket until 2025. A few months ago, the absolute West Ham United fan was at the heart of the rumors as the club sought David Moyes’ successor. Flattered by this interest which reveals almost a childhood dream, WIll Still had tempered the ardor of the Hammers supporters since patience is the mother of virtue according to the former video analyst who had confirmed not wishing “skip step”. Arrived in complete anonymity, the Anglo-Belgian technician seems set to stay and his determination to perform could lead to marking the history of a club to the glory of yesteryear. Now, an important step awaits him.

Indeed, as revealed by the Team, the end of 2023 should rhyme with the obtaining of the Pro UEFA license for Will Still, which will allow the Stade de Reims to save money invested in the fines imposed since his induction, not holding a professional football coaching certificate or equivalent. To celebrate such exciting news, Folarin Balogun’s teammates would be well advised to win before a communion which promises to be particularly gratifying for the last one in Auguste-Delaune, Saturday June 3 against the MHSC.
