Will Still to Nantes: Coach’s Blunt Response

Will Still did indeed have an offer from FC Nantes. However, he decided to refuse it, the Belgian coach explains why.

The tactician wants to be cautious: “I want to think about my career, to make the right choice. I don’t want to throw myself into something where I don’t have access to all the information or control over everything.”

“I was very respectful, I thanked the Kita family but I told myself that I preferred to take a step back from my situation,” he continues at the microphone of Canal+.

He even wishes the best to the Ligue 1 team: “I wish them to remain at FC Nantes because it remains a club with a very rich history.”

Nantes in a critical situation

FC Nantes is currently 17th out of 18 in the league, tied on points with Metz. We might as well tell you that the situation is complicated and that the French club does not want to experience a downturn at the end of the season. He therefore contacted Will Still, seeing him as an ideal solution, but it ultimately ended up not being the case.

Will Still should wait a little longer before taking on a new challenge. It’s difficult to know when he will embark on a new adventure, but one thing is certain: he should have many offers, particularly in France where he has left his mark. As a reminder, Will Still was sacked from his post as Southampton coach at the beginning of last November.
