He's still & will always be Will Still

Did you know Will Still has led Reims to an 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 😅

Well Alfie, Will Still has led Reims to an 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 😅

Him and Reims has been one of the highlights of the season for me as a neutral French football fan. It's a fantastic story

30 year's old, youngest manager in top five leagues, £22,000 fine every game, no UEFA Pro License, Football Manager player

I can already see Alfie using Still's images as in the line of Whatmore, Ndidi, and Hoever

Great video, could you make one about the fact that Will Still has led Reims to a 19-game unbeaten run in all competitions. At 30, he’s the youngest manager in Europe’s top 5 leagues. Reims pay a £22,000 pound fine each time Still manages because he doesn’t have his Uefa Pro License…

I heard England were going to offer him a role after he brought Woking to the champions League in 6 seasons in championship manager (that stuff doesn't go unnoticed). Reims just got to him first.

He is living a dream a lot of us football manager players dream of.

I swear, the amount of articles going like, “This club that has to pay €42,000 every game because of their manager” or “This guy has gone from Football Manager to being unbeaten against PSG”. I prepare myself for pain when I see his name

Alfie's name segues **UPDATED** with 2 new ones Without Freddy Adu (without further ado) Eddie Howe (anyhow) Wright ('right) Hoever (However) 19:27 Watmore (What's more) Ndidi (indeed) *The new ones:* Luke Shaw (sure enough) at 18:19 Will Still (will still make a video about) note: I don't think he'll keep with this one in the future

Thoroughly enjoyed this video Alfie, I think it gives a lot more context into how Will got to where he is and as a young manager, can only hope he continues to do well. It’s just crazy how media and people latch on to one factor and don’t look at the broader picture when reporting stuff. Appreciate this and all the work you do mate.

Best German players in the premier league of all time. (Day 472) I will not give up until the video is made or Alfie himself tells me to stop. Everyone else telling me that will be ignored. If you don't believe my number, just go back to the previous videos. I'm at the bottom most of the time, but I'm there.

I Will Still follow Will Still as long as he is involved in football. A legendary manager in the making. Multi bi-linguil, passionate, meticulous, tactically intelligent, a great man manager always involved in training. What a career he has ahead in management!

It’s kind of insane how viral the will still story has gone I’m in australia and even seen it on Aussie based football pages

Will Still 22k a week 30 years old Football manager

The name of himself symbolises how a true footballing manager at such a young age could be patient for him to be still would want to fulfill his dream which is being the youngest ever manager to manager a footballing club and thanks to Stade Reims which are one of my favourite footballing clubs for finally appointed this genius man for the job and he has been his doing his managerial job extremely so well and even surprised my boyhood club AS Monaco away which showed that he can do wonders at the club,good friends!!!With the squad that he has including Folarin Balagon,this club can actually challenge for top four in the French Ligue 1 which they can achieve brilliantly but a huge task against Olympique Marseille is coming up tomorrow for them which they need to surprise them at home,good friends!!!LONG LIVE STADE REIMS AND FRENCH FOOTBALL!!!🏋️‍♂️🇫🇷

The video we all were waiting for🙌

Watching a new manager breakthrough into one of the top 5 leagues is always interesting

Alfie you really do do great work. There is a gem of a video to be done on Middlesbrough, either the leagues appallingly unfair and unprecedented treatment of Middlesbrough when it was in virtual liquidation in the old 3rd division and their climb to the top league in 3 seasons in '86 or the Premier leagues malfeasance in the 3 point docking after giving Middlesborough permission to call off the Blackburn game and the media's cowardly and sneaky cover up of the truth in '96 as well as deeply suspicious incompetence of referees during that campaign. I genuinely think that if the facts became known there would be MASSIVE interest in exactly how despicabley behaved the Premier league were. I still find it deeply suspicious that no journalist has ever dug into this or presented Middlesbroughs side of the story. The media and the publics gullibility in thinking Bryan Robson and Steve Gibson would just decide to call off a game and not even informing Blackburn AS FUCKING IF. The 2 together plus a couple of other strange occurrences would be a truly dynamite story.

Will Still, Eddie Howe and Freddy Adu his favorite names to say

Bout time ya did this one alfie! Bloody good

Will still has led Reims to a 19-game unbeaten run in all competitions. At 30, he’s the youngest manager in Europe’s top 5 leagues. Reims pay a £22,000 pound fine each time Still manages because he doesn’t have his Uefa Pro License…

I'm gonna put in another request for a hypothetical starting XI for the East African Federation, a proposed federation (big surprise there) of Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda. None of them are exactly what you'd call powerhouse footballing nations, with the exception of the DRC, but with plenty of players from those nationalities in the French and German leagues there's bound to be some diamonds in the rough. I did actually send Alfie a Twitter DM detailing my own attempt at an EAF first team, complete with a kit design and a subs bench, but since that didn't get a response I can only assume it got lost in the post. It's not like he'd ignore an unsolicited private message about putting together a national football team for a country that doesn't exist, right? Right? This is request number 13; calling it a streak feels a little disingenuous considering I miss days a lot of the time due to my health. I intend to go for as long as I can until Alfie either makes the video or tells me to bugger off. I'm sure you have your own opinions about which is more likely. =]

You are getting better w each video. Keep going.

The biggest shock from this video will still be that Japan has a goalie called Daniel Schmidt

That’s cool but did you know Will Still has led Reims to an 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…

That was incredible the will still bit at the beginning

He came on Talksport and said his club no longer need to pay the fine. This is because he has started his pro license course

Brilliant Alfie, you are a true aficionado of the medium (and the game).

Will Still has led Reims to an 19-game unbeaten run in Ligue 1. 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

Great video as always 👍 can you please do one about Maltese football? 🇲🇹 ⚽

Will Still is an inspiring story, but I really hope he stays at Reims for a bit longer and doesn’t rush to the big time too soon. I have a fear that this could end up the way Andre Villas Boas did, and the FM angle means a certain element of the English media would always think he’s unqualified. Was Villas Boas overrated? Or just aggressively rushed into jobs he wasn’t ready for with too much pressure and he never truly recovered?

By making this video Alfie jinxed it 😢

It's pronounced more like "Ranse", as in Rinse but with an 'ah' sound. Also, you kept saying that Reims were still having to pay 25k for every game, even though you said they didn't have to, right at the end, because Will has started his Pro Licence course. Apart form that, great video!

Excellent video

He will still have the same success in any other league

CLASS VIDEO ALFIE

Great video

Will Still, still will.

Day 2 of asking for a video about São Caetano Some extra info about the club to see if it's of your liking Alfie. They were only founded in 1989, so in just 13 years they had gone from a newly formed club to a Libertadores final And like someone mentioned in my first mention of this, nowadays they play in the Campeonato Paulista A3, the 3rd division of São Paulo's regional league

"who am I to spoil it with something as tedious as reality?" Amazing quote which I will be using in future!!!

His older brother Edward, who you mentioned early in the video, is also managing at Eupen in Belgian first division and the youngest brother Nicolas is a video analyst and assistant to Edward.

will still is a legend, will still will still be the legend

Proper comment now: I can't help but wonder if Still's style of management would respond well to a higher bank balance at a superclub in the European leagues. To me, it feels like his style is at its best when working with people who are just as hungry and scrappy as he is; I don't know how well that approach would transfer to men earning six figures a week who have been around the game forever and don't think they need to learn from someone younger than the first-team's keeper.

Will Still has potential as the next ‘Eddie Howe’ and ‘without further Adu’

Will Will Still Still Perform His Magic at Reims

My god listening to you at x2 speed is a MUST. I've never heard a human being speak so slowly before.

I don't know who he is but I Will Still watch it.

I must be the only guy to doesn't have the foggiest about Will Still

Thanks!

As someone who "also" speaks multiple languages, being able to just switch back and forth like that is amazing. I like to think my Spanish and German accents are acceptable but I almost need a hard mental reset to go between languages

On the other hand there is always Ole Gunnar Solskjaer who played Champ man/Football Manager whilst he was a player. Then went into coaching. You can see Ole talk about the game on Football Manager Ruined My Life. So a manager being connected to the game is not unknown. Will Still however is experiencing a meteoric rise and it is certainly remarkable.

great content

Myerscough college. The football programme was ran by Alan Lord former stockport county manager. There's been a conveyor belt of talent from myerscough and County.

i highly recommend people to check out his light-hearted interview on Talksport with Andy Goldstein and Darren Bent where he spills beans on his journey, favourite team in the PL, tryst with FM and also how to pronounce the name of his current club.

this story has been updated and only getting better

An outstanding achievement.

Hi Alfie, could you make a video about the remarkable season Feyenoord has had so far, after losing almost their entire starting eleven last summers? Cheers!

Billy Still is what his family and friends call him True story!

Did you know, Will still has led Reims to a 19-game unbeaten run in all competitions. At 30, he’s the youngest manager in Europe’s top 5 leagues. Reims pay a £22,000 pound fine each time Still manages because he doesn’t have his Uefa Pro License…

16:40 thats Steven Defour's head, probably one of the craziest tifo's ever.

Pronounciation of Reims was all over the shop 😂 The narrator pronounced Reims differently everytime 😂 The closest pronounciation of Reims was at 20:44 so he can sort of pronounce it properly when he wants to lol

As a Lierse fan I must say you pronounce it like Leer-suh

I have been waiting for this video for a while lmao😂😂

Today he only lose 4 matches in France Ligue, 2 draws against PSG, thats insane

Watching in early October and he has Reims 3rd in the league after 7 games...

In 2018, he took over at my club Lierse SK. We were surprised the first week about his age and about... who is he? But he really did a wonderful job... also here was a problem because, he didn't has the UEFA diploma... but that season on May 9, 2018, Lierse SK announced that it requested bankruptcy... i guess ( i'm sure of it)... he becomes a top manager

i’m sure he will still be doing great things for years

Legend

Very cool

I could see him at a Leicester, a Leeds or a West Ham next season.

Would love to see a video like this about Ange Postecoglou

very interesting.

That man is living my dream…

Will still, what a name! 😅

My favourite thing about him is how he talks perfect French then says “Fucking 3 points on Sunday” like a geezer.

He has a bright future ahead of him.

This guy is one to watch out for

Although I've never heard of Will Still, I will still watch this video. 🧀 Thanks! (Edit: add cheesy emoji 😁)

Flips balogun and ito is a beautiful trio under will still

Since this video came out Reims form has slightly deteriorated and gone L/W/D/L/L/L/W

Alfie, off topic, sorry. I'm trying to get hold of your book but there's no digital version available, inc Amazon. I was at primary school in Tiptree in '66-'72 and am sure Neil Franklin was our neighbour, playing footie with his 2 sons and getting coaching sessions on Saturdays at our school. My parents don't believe me. Did he live in Tiptree (while or after managing Colchester) and have 2 sons born early '60s, or have I hallucinated that? :-)

Will Still still always be Will Still? Yes, Will Still will still be Will Still.

You missed a big opportunity to show Genoa fc when you said "Do You know what" at 1:43

I wonder if Will Still will still be Stade Rennes next season? And I wonder if Will Still will still be successful elsewhere? I will still watch Will Still's career either way.

Will Will Still still be at Reims next season?

I expected a will still pun in the first few minutes 1:57. Very good lol

Will Will Still still be the nations favourite in a weeks time?

Please Alfie do a video on Portimense. I’m going on holiday there in a couple of weeks and want to go see a game. Just sayin…

Will Still the cult hero of all Football Manager players

He is still Will Still.

Might as well let him have the UEFA Pro licence now, given he’s nearly gone 20 games unbeaten

If he continues this form, Will Still will still be the manager at the end of the season

No matter where Stade de Reims will end up finishing this season, Will Still will still be called Will Still.

Still hoping for that Austrian Wunderteam video 😇✌.

Video idea: The Remarkable rise of Los Angeles FC (the current MLS Cup champions and the replacement club for Chivas USA.)

I love the comments to this video! However, I do feel that they are missing a few things: Will Still has led Reims to an 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 Licence. He also plied his trade on Football Manager.
