Southampton has reportedly targeted Will Still, the manager of Lens, as their preferred choice for the recently vacated managerial role at St Mary's Stadium. The 32-year-old, originally from Belgium, recently announced his intention to return to the UK, though his departure involves negotiations for contract release from Lens, where he has a deal until 2027. Previously, Southampton considered Sheffield Wednesday's Danny Rohl but found compensation costs excessive. Still's management career includes a successful stint in France, and he aims to replace Ivan Juric following the club's relegation from the Premier League.
Southampton have identified Will Still as their leading candidate for the vacant manager position, complicated by contract negotiations with Lens.
At 32, Still became the youngest coach in Europe's top five leagues, appointed by Reims in October 2022.
