    What people forget to emphasize is his IMMENSE EFFORT that he put ind studying and working to become this good. Its not just as simple as most of articles write about him, that he played Football Manager and just strolled to success.
    This man works like hell, he puts its so much effort that you do not see covered in press.
    Please try to acknowledge this critical part as well

      It's always easier to sell a story if it seemingly is closer to a miracle and tell one or two, maybe three key points of success. But the struggles aren't usually highlighted by the storytellers.
      No one really cares about Elon Musk's struggles when average people talk about him. They only see his twitter takeover, the layoff of the most lazy and useless employees, and how wealthy he is. But we as a species tend to take the aspect from where we don't necessarily have to think a lot to come to a conclusion regarding a specific topic. Then we just go nuts and believe in the pertinence of our thought process and we procect it even though only our ego could suffer damage should we change our minds.

    Kind of reminds me of André Vilas Boas, who got into football the same way (Championship Manager, now know as FM). Then he met his new neighbor...non other then Bobby Robson. After various friendly conversations, he began to show him analysis of the games. Robson was so overwhelmed that he brought the 17 year old kid to Porto. André was quite crítical about Robson not putting the beloved Domingos Paciência as forward and convinced Robson to do so. Domingos scored two goals after he gave him that tip and Robson who already was convinced about André's quality helped him with an internship at Ipswich Town.
    After years in the ranks at FC Porto he met other student of the late great Robson...José Mourinho. André again learned and after being the assistant manager of Mou, went on to manage the oldest club in Portugal, Académica de Coimbra. Académica were bottom at the time and were fighting not to go down. The kid ended the season in a respectable 10th place. After that he went on to win the Europa League with FCP and the league title.
    These last years he is a bit of the grid, but there is a reason...he wants to be the next FC Porto presidential candidate after Pinto da Costa retires. Zea here you have another cool story. 👍

    I think their will be more & more Will Still's coming through, I know football leans on older managers or former players however their are loads of great young coaches, the reason I say this is I went to a uni that has a top football coaching degree where they even pay for your UEFA A/B licences & I was friends with a couple of them who were incredibly bright & some who have gone on to very good coaching jobs. An example who I didn't know personally myself was Joao Sacramento who became Tottenham assistant under Mourinho, hopefully with their sucess football will give more chances to these kind of people instead of just a guy who played in the Prem

      They won't. Because unless you go via a University that won't happen, and that's not organic coaching growth. Also the English FA are now only running 1 course a year for UEFA C, B and A licences. And preference is given to ex-players, coaches coaching the women's game as they're trying to improve and grown that, and coaches from BAME backgrounds as the FA feel they're under-respresented. So actually going forward, in England anyway, it will be more difficult for people like Will Still to appear as the door is being closed on them with the reduction in courses and more specific requirements to get on the course. Some lads I know now are having to go to Wales, Scotland or Ireland to do it, which is inconvenient and expensive, so a lot of them are just giving up coaching completely because they can't progress.

    To add to it, there are 3 brothers - Edward (1990°), William (1992°) and Nicolas (1997°) - who are all kind of on the same page. They all seem to have given up on playing early and chosen to go for it as pro football staff. All of them worked at STVV as staff early on. I think another link to STVV is that as teenagers Will and maybe the others as well played in STVV youth teams. Edward and Nico were in the staff of Croatian manager Ivan Leko in STVV (Sint Truiden), Club Bruges, Antwerp. Edward managed Belgian top flight clubs Charleroi last season and Eupen this season. He has a 40% win rate for now, although his job at Eupen was basicly avoiding relegation which he did. So Will is the one making more off a name for himself, but there is a family effot thing going on.

    The media want a good story, thus leave out the part that he was a decent youth player, playing for 1st and 2nd division clubs in Belgium. This is how he got his start. In other words, he was already in the industry and switched jobs, doing the necessary work to get there. Also he learnt from European coaches; dudes that actually know their stuff, unlike muppets from USA and Australia - if you're from here, and have similar aspirations, you're at a real disadvantage.

    I'm a longtime PSG supporter and I will say this- as long as we still win the league (which I'm sure we will as Lens's away record is bad and Marseille is Marseille), I'm happy that Ramos's all-time poor marking led to Balogun's 96th minute goal which prompted the football world to learn who Still is

    As well as he is doing at Stade de Reims, I don't think he should get plaudits for keeping Beerschot up in 2020/21 as manager. In the first half of the season, before he came in, they were 4th and 5 points off top. When he came in, the team were 8th, he got 18 points from 14 games to take them to 9th by the end of the season. The squad was already performing well (albeit in a bit of a dip in form just before he joined) and he kept them around the same position in the table.

    Fun fact: at the beginning of this season, he was offered the job as the head coach of the Standard Liege U23, who play in the second division in Belgium. He rejected, went to Reims to be an assistant. Safe to say he made the good decision.

The state also has divisions so you play 10 state games plus playoffs before the whole countries leagues start. Mine is bascially pre season since there's only 1 other good club in my state rest of them are like 2 star clubs.
