Will Still has taken the Football world by storm, after he took the Football Manager world by storm. The 30-year-old is five years younger than Messi and has exploded into the profession by leading a Ligue 1 side in Stade de Reims from the depths of the table to 13 unbeaten matches and counting. This is including a draw away to PSG.
He was born in 1992 and it’s the third team he has coached, it’s a wild story and the video tells it, so I don’t really know exactly what you’re doing down here, unless you’re looking for one of the links below. There are a lot of them, I try to take care of you when I can. The lives are particularly fun if you get a chance.
Much Love,
The Zealand

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
that's true, football manager made him realize his coaching passion, however, the game itself didn't truned him into an actual coach
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.
@@zp5808
What were Elon musk's struggles??
His dad owned a large share in an emerald mine that exploited the labour of the impoverished in South Africa
And then he buys PayPal and Tesla and pretends as if he founded the. Companies. The man's a rich grifter who loves to keep his employees wage's down through union bashing
@@zp5808 what on earth has elon musk done that is beneficial
@@TheFriendlyNeighbour PayPal lmfao why you mad
As a fan of Reims, I love this guy we were 15th and now we may fight for a top 10 place 😍
Je suis pas rémois mais je vous le souhaite, c'est génial votre jeu depuis qu'il est là
Garcia a pas fait du si mal boulot que ça si ? J'suis pour Clermont et j'ai toujours eu une bonne image du jeu de Reims, même avec Garcia, juste l'impression que le début de saison était très malchanceux et un gros manque de réussite. Vis à vis de joueurs comme Ito,Balogun,Agbadu etc je vous voyais même finir mieux que Lorient cette saison
@@SuperThompson63 En vrai Garcia à plutot posé les bases mais il n'as pas pu continuer de travailler avec ces soucis familiaux.
Qu'est ce vous aller au pain au chocolat?
@@FrozenSavage Reading comprehension isn't for everyone.
Worth mentioning his older brother Edward is 32 and is currently managing Eupen in the top division in Belgium
now 2024 he's unemployed hope he can find good teams.
This is crazy cuz he was my assistant manager throughout my longest ever save in FM
You got lucky you didn’t get the axe while he was there.
Wait... He left Reims to join Liege to complete his licence and when done he went back to Reims. Did we just see... A coach get LOANED??
Loans you gotta have loans
You gotta have loans
Fun fact : the owner of Reims use football manager too for scouting guys like Rajkovic or Itô.
So Reims is as of now a real life FM save.
@@toskiemail1371 champions league in 3 years, you heard it here first
I guess Reims are now my favourite French side.
Let me guess Rajkovic and Ito are hidden well-established players in FM22? (Considering this season is the fruit of their “scouting” effort?”
treble five years from now and most successful club in europe in seven years from now
Then there's me, born in 1996, got into the coaching aspects of the game because of FM and am now starting my level C badge at the Argentinian Football Association.
Goodluck bro, gonna see u managing Riverplate soon
GOOD LUCK!!!
Dónde lo hago bro, soy de 1997 y estaba pensando en hacer carrera de dt después que este estancado en mi trabajo, tipo dónde me anoto y eso
I'm three days late but you got this dude! Can't wait to see you become a manager of an argentinian team in a few years! 🤝
Good luck.
I cant wait for Will Still to become a top manager. His language skills are crucial honestly. Few people have native sounding accents in three languages like Will does. He will be impeccable to team cohesion.
What’s his third language?
@@johnathenjencks4356 Dutch
Can confirm being able to speak the language in a foreign country is a crucial skill, even if your native accent is as subtle as a brick
Will Will Still still not have a Continental Pro License for a while?
Nerd
@@gianfrancoguevara5636 Nob.
Maybe maybe.
He said it takes around a year to get it
@Gianfranco Guevara how did you misspell Neil
Fair play to the lad he's living the dream. It does make me wonder how my life might have turned out if I'd have studied coaching at uni instead of geography because lets be honest here, if his FM sessions were ending at 4am he was a bit of a part-timer! Loving the new content Z, keep it up brother.
Study coaching on the side and play football manager and get good at it. Plus read some books, it's never too late. Do it on the side for years until it becomes your main job.
Spat out my drink when I heard Myerscough College - it's really near to where I live and has a reputation for catering to specific career paths. It's amazing what Will Still has been able to accomplish and I hope he becomes one of Europe's premier managers.
Beerschot got relegated last season after he was replaced finishing 9th in the (half) season before ...
Myerscough college is part of the University of Central Lancashire. Based in Preston. I'm guessing that's how he got the PNE U14 job
Thank you for acknowledging he's Belgian because most of the media just say he's English when he's clearly not only English
He is Anglo-belgian. He looks like englishman
He is English, English blood, English name
@@sinistermephisto65 I guarantee you that he’s bilingual in French to the point where he could fool you
@@sinistermephisto65 he was born in Belgium spent all his childhood there and started his career there so he's more Belgian then English
@@sinistermephisto65 If he is English then Raheem Sterling is Jamaican, and half of the England team aren’t English for that matter.
In a couple years Wrexham hire Zealand to be their coach for content and he leads them into the Premier League 😂
And his top scorer is Folarin Balogun loaned from Arsenal with 14 goals (must have watched the loan song 😂)
I just like the editting
Cases like this show the coaching system needs to be re-assessed.
He clearly knows what he's doing, despite what his qualifications say he knows.
I feel like if u win a certain amount of games, UEFA should just automatically promote their license, or at least let the coaches get their license without paying
Proof that certificates, diplomas, degrees are utterly meaningless and just a business to make money. You can either do something or you can't, a piece of paper proves nothing.
@@bkak2245 100%
living the dream of every FM player 👏🏼 would be great to see Reims rise to the top of French football again too, one of the most historic clubs in the country and were even one of the best in Europe during the 50s and early 60s
We have another great coach in Belgium, you will hear from in a couple of years. Wouter Vrancken. Loving your football break downs. Especialliy the one aobut Roberto Martinez. That was the hard truth.
Hope he stays there for as long as possible to develop himself. Many coaches and players hurt themselves by chasing the big move right away
Damn that's impressive. Just subscribed
Amazing story
Gotta say, i love that you tackle random Football topics with videos like these, in the main channel, Z.
Great idea for a departure from FM content
I was JUST researching this last night, thank you for making a video on him!
As a Belgian I can say this video is surprisingly enough about 90% accurate , which is respectable as a foreign person that doesnt keep up to date with the Belgian Leagues and news around it
Balogun is my hidden gem I found on fm21. Glad to see he still puts in work.
hidden gem mate he plays for arsenal
@@bossman5370 Hidden Gem when you know where he is coming from.
Alberto Mendez played Arsenal too.
Also for Unterhaching.
It is like changing from Barnet to Arsenal straight! 😁
I watch some of zealands fm videos. I watch all of these “crazy stuff happening in world football videos”
The AD transition completely sent me 😂
At first i tought this video had to musch padding. But then i realized that his rise was so short and fast that it needed it.
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.
i am a massive fan of these types of videos. great work Z
Beerschot legend
I realize I learn so much about other underrated players from around the world when playing Fifa Manager mode. Also alot of NBA players use the 2k video game as a form of film study to prepare what their opponents tendencies and strengths/weaknesses
Bev Preistman won an olympic gold medal 8 months after taking her first ever head coaching position, at 33, younger than the captain of the team, wheres that video
"Belguim is not France" I felt that
Really like these little article pieces. Keep 'em coming! :)
That "hi rhys" was great
honestly he should be given the pro license by UEFA themselves
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.
What a story this guy is! On my FM save in 2035 he's the assistant manager of Huddersfield having been assistant manager at Standard Liege from 2021 to 2033.
Also featuring Balogun who could be the solution to the US's striker problem.
Balogan a big part of the success.
Balogun the arsenal loanee has been exceptional for him
This video is top tier
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.
Nice to see. Junya Ito plays at Stade de Reims
He should be on the cover of the game next season. What a crazy story.
It's so fun that as I'm watching this video, Stade de Reims is currently playing Auxerre.
His brother Edward Still was a video analyser for Royal Antwerp FC and is now head coach of Charleroi in Belgium.
Great video man. Football Manager 4 life ⚽
3am last night for me, I made the mistake of taking over a Brazilian club. Time flies 😂
I feel your pain im trying to win the Liberatodores in Brazil and the 50 game season is killing me. Season is soo long 😭
@@HDiCurse I don’t even fully understand what’s happening with the league, u play 20 games in something before the seria A league kicks off 😂
@@matthewdaisley9996 and I'm watching those 20 something games before the actual season starts in the stadium in real life. Boring as fuck.
@@matthewdaisley9996 I googled it a while ago because I was confused also lol. Its the state league. So Brazil is split up into states like the US except their bigger. 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.
@@HDiCurse I both that the most teams were shit we scored 14 goals in the first 2 games 😂 Fk it I’m in it to win everything 🏆
Please get this guy in West Ham
Balogun definitely helps at Reims too
I am also born in 1992 and that shall make me feel old, how dare you 😢.
Great story Zeland, hopefully more to come
This is the greatest football(manager) story of all time!
Tbh, FM got it pretty nailed down when it comes to scouting talents and management. I used to play for pub team and trust me with just 2 days training a week it is usually a team with simplest strategy yet highest familiarity to the system wins.
Lol who else is inspired now to just drop everything and get their damn coaching degrees lol
It's not so unrealistic. 10 years ago he was managing u14s and now he's managing against Mbappe. 10 years ago Mbappe was playing for the u14s. No big deal.
Actually that just makes me feel as old as I actually am.
It does however make me stare at a wall and make me realise i've achieved comparatively little.
Only 4am? What a part-timer!
Guy is literally IN Football Manager now. That has to be the goal, right?
Was wondering if you were going to talk about this! Maybe you could be his assistant? Send him a link to your stream 😂
Dream team! Brian Clough and Peter Taylor 2.0
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.
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
One of us! One of us!
this guy managed my club Beerschot
The guy studied at Skillshare, the sponsor of this video.
This guy should manage PSG
Knew this was coming hahah as soon as he said managing is like playing fm I thought to myself Zealand will do a video about this guy for sure hahah
Yeh mum drawing to Man City with Norwich on legendary difficulty will help me in future life
FINALLY A VIDEO ABOUT MY TEAM WOUHOUUU
I'm not surprised that that a FM player got a position such as this, I'm surprised there aren't more. It's literally a training simulator for the job.
I wonder if Zeeland can start a Twitter rumour that Will Still is to replace Graham Potter at Chelsea and if Bohley would actually do it.
Will Still and Balogun is going to send Reims to Europe 🐐
Appreciation for Arsenal reject - Balogun - leading goal scorer in France for Reim
The use of the term "reject" is quite wrong here
He isn't a reject.
we're paying Reims in the french cup this week, I hope we'll break his unbeaten streak but it will be difficult, Reims looks so much better since Still took over, and Balogun is on fire recently, being the top scorer in Ligue 1 (yea, Mbappé has one less goal)
“If we pull up a map here, Belgium is not France… “
Exceptional geography from Z
Beerschot got relegated finishing rock bottom the next year
Still unbeaten in ligue 1 as of today, 17 match streak if I’m not mistaken
Wait until you find out about Gigi Becali and his coach career without any license at all
Thank you to scouted football podcast for telling me about will still two years ago
I went myerscough college aswell mad
Funny thing is he has most likely heard of Zealand if he is a big FM fan and quite possibly watched this video
Wonderkid coach
4:35 definitely got me to subscribe 😂
Interesting video... would be a shame if someone did the exact same video a few days earlier...
We need him at Chelsea!!
The guy still played football until he was 17 and he played in Belgium's 4th division so its not really bad. He has some real life experience not just FM.
Will still makes me want to get my badges, I’ve been playing career mode and fm for soo long
I think we will see more CM/FM/Fifa players taking professional licences to coach in football in the future.
what many people believe is that CM/FM is a totally unreliable form of video game from real life.
But there was an article and video that came out a few years ago about how scouting of the players were done for the game and there's actually an extensive network of volunteers and employees who actually do the scouting at the leagues and clubs.
And if you go back to look at some of the stats of the best players in the world, they are not just given high scores becasue they are good players, you will realize that many of them have many flaws too. Eg. CR7 was already a top player back in 2008, when he won the UCL with united, but he had many flaws as a player and is not necessarily a 20/20 player by all accounts. In fact, the bad stats had gone down, which are in accordance to how he plays in club matches for RM and Juve and then back at MU.
Same goes for top players like Thomas Muller, Messi, Kaka etc. And even all the way back to the CM days, the stats are very, very accurate.
So there are many gamers who have had hours and hours of experience in these games, they will know what to look for, how each managers play, what formation, what selection, tactics etc the opposition will choose, and as such, they will be able to maximise their chances of winning in real life.
That’s not true though. I love FM but what it doesn’t teach you is how to actually coach. As in plan a session from the start through to the progression, how to deal with any challenges in the session etc. It also doesn’t teach you people management. Real life coaching experience teaches you both of those things. And the people management side in particular is about 90% of it, which is what Nagelsman said. You can have the best ideas in the world but if you can’t communicate them to your players or they won’t buy into them because they don’t like you then you’re useless.
@@mancunioner its called football manager, not football coach. Even in the game all you do is setting the schedule for the players to train and hire top AMs and coaches to actually train the players. Heck, some real life coaches are not good at coaching but man management.
@@chinaman1 right but to be able to get the qualifications to do the job you actually have to be able to coach though. They don’t just give you a uefa a licence for liking football
@@mancunioner but yet William still is here proving fifa wrong.
@@chinaman1 How? He has his A Licence. He just doesn't have his Pro Licence yet but he's going through it now. It's not easy to get an A Licence.
Chelsea get this lad!
Hey! Myerscough is one of my local colleges. Lots of (very old) football clubs here in the North West which the college has links to; useful if you want to learn the coaching side hands on... (Yes, sports and farming is an odd educational mix. Shurrup.)
The wonderkid
and here I thought this was about Steve Cooper at Forest
Wasn't Ian Cathro the first FM player to manage a team when he took charge of Hearts in 2016?
Be careful Reims, Chelsea might steal your guy next summer! 😅
great presentation!
I done 2 and a half seasons in 24 hour
