Still’s rise through football management has been rapid. After coaching roles in Belgium with Lierse SK and Beerschot VA, he joined Reims and eventually became the youngest manager in charge across Europe’s five major leagues at the age of 30.
His most notable achievement came at Reims, where his aggressive pressing style helped the club embark on a 19-match unbeaten run, the sixth longest in Ligue 1 history. He guided the side to 11th place in 2022-23 before improving to ninth the following season. Those performances earned him a move to Lens, where he continued to deliver solid results before taking on the challenge of managing Southampton in England.
