Sunderland chiefs will be rubbing their hands after Will Still’s recent comments
Sunderland chiefs will have definitely clocked what Reims boss Will Still said in an interview last week.
Sunderland sacked Michael Beale last month and now have another managerial appointment to contend with this summer.
But Kyril Louis-Dreyfus and Kristjaan Speakman have given themselves plenty of time to find the right man, placing Mike Dodds in temporary charge.
Though with results poor and shining a light on not only the poor decision to sack Tony Mowbray, followed by the decision to hire Beale, but also the flaws with the recruitment strategy, this next appointment has to be right.
Will Still is Sunderland’s ideal next manager
Insider Graeme Bailey previously said that Reims boss Still is Sunderland’s ‘ideal’ next manager appointment in the summer.
The 31-year-old, Belgian-English coach currently manages Reims in the French Ligue 1.
He started turning heads after guiding the club to a 19-game unbeaten run last season, having this season stabilised the club in the French top tier.
Reims currently sit in 9th place of the table and are only four points outside the European football places with eight games of the season to go.
Reims no longer paying fine for hiring Will Still
Last week, Still appeared on talkSPORT.
He gave a very interesting interview and some of his comments will have surely caught the attention of Louis-Dreyfus and Speakman at Sunderland.
Still revealed that Reims are no longer paying fines for having an unlicensed manager in place, telling Alan Brazil:
“No, that fine has finally come to an end as the Pro License course that I’m on has started.”
