West Ham’s search for a new manager takes yet another interesting turn as Will Still, a long-time contender, has announced his departure from Reims.
Reims officially confirmed on their website that Still, the young English head coach, will be stepping down at the end of the season. This news comes amidst rumours linking him to the West Ham job.
Still has openly declared his support for West Ham and has even been spotted attending games at the London Stadium this season. This, coupled with his successful stint at Reims, makes him a popular choice among some West Ham fans.
The 31-year-old Still is considered a rising star in European football. He made a name for himself with an impressive 14-game unbeaten run at the beginning of his tenure with Reims.
While the official statement from Reims suggests a mutual decision, the timing of Still’s departure raises questions, particularly considering West Ham’s managerial vacancy.
With David Moyes expected to leave soon, West Ham is actively searching for a new manager. Still’s situation has fueled speculation that he could be the frontrunner for the position.
Perhaps Still, compared to other names like Lopetegui and Fonseca, might be a more exciting prospect for West Ham fans. His passion for the club and his impressive record make him a potentially strong candidate.
While no official confirmation exists, Still’s departure from Reims and West Ham’s managerial search have become intertwined. An announcement regarding Still’s potential appointment at West Ham could be imminent.
