From Football Manager to football manager | Football Focus

At just 30 years old, Englishman Will Still is the youngest boss in Europe's top five leagues and is ripping it up in Ligue 1 with Reims.
He tells us how playing Football Manager helped inspire him to get into the game for real and how his age is helping - rather than hindering - his blossoming career.

From Football Manager to football manager | Football Focus

[@connorkerr2094]

He’s living every football manager players dream, hats off to him

[@brandonmoran6478]

apart from that was the news headline and not the years he spent studying the game first hand.... Just cos I play COD doesn't mean I'm a soldier.

[@WELLZY_]

he should be on the cover of the next football manager. what a story, he’s pretty much giving them a free sponsorship

[@LCFC_Shiba_In_Seat_25]

Will Still has led Reims to a 19-game unbeaten run in all competitions. At 30 years old, he’s the youngest manager in Europe’s top five leagues . Reims pay a £22,000 fine each time Still manages because he doesn’t have his UEFA Pro license…😂😊

[@SSChewbacca]

Not strictly true. They lost 3-1 to Toulouse in the French Cup. But let's not take away what an amazing job he's done so far. Just gone and beat Monaco too yesterday. Good luck to the lad

[@jameshill2806]

Good Luck Will, awesome story of the underdog!!

[@slowedversion6393]

Legend

[@johncambridge7339]

This man has that something I like in a manager

[@andrewlloyd4702]

Just saw this young man on GMTV, and what a well spoken man, and so humble too, Will, I am (no pun intended), a fan of you and your team! I'm so impressed with your take on football, your career, and on life. You are an inspiration to everyone. Very very best wishes in your career, take care.

[@barryclarke5958]

I would love to see will take over from moyes at west ham hes a great guy and I cant wait to see him in England soon

[@thomaslangley1571]

Good luck to you Will, and fair play to you.

[@jameltaras411]

He's from Belgium mate, he was on Radio Five live just now

[@sdreims3035]

Will, tu fais le tour du monde des media ???? Cool !!! Prends soin de toi !!! Et profites !!!!! Kiss....

[@FourLightsOfficial]

Can FIFA cut the licensing requirements so football coaching can be more inclusive for people on lower incomes? No, they just line their pockets regardless of the talent wasted. C.R.E.A.M.

[@matzulyst2396]

the intro one is cheap and you can be football coach for free just not on professional level. You wish to be one when you dont get real taste of how professional coach should know? its not like what you do in FM.

[@Dmog97]

Fucking legend will hope you manage united one day

[@themanftheworld8439]

Which one ???

[@lilfish9700]

come to West Ham ⚒️

[@dylancarr8415]

He's not English like your description suggests. He's told you in the interview where he was born and where he was raised. Classic English behaviour to put a claim on someone who is doing well in the moment.

[@jameltaras411]

True,he said it himself he's from Belgium, didn't make it as a pro, at 18 he went to Preston Academy to study football coaching /analysis and the rest is history

[@DJDave1962]

He is Sunderland’s next manager/coach
