A leading Sunderland managerial target has recently been spotted in England.
Sunderland fired Michael Beale in February.
The former Rangers and QPR manager lasted only 12 games in what proved to be a difficult and contentious time on Wearside.
Several names have been suggested to replace Beale at the Stadium of Light this summer.
For the time being, Mike Dodds is in command, and he has overseen ten games in his third stint as interim manager, with five loses, three draws, and two victories.
Will Still and Paul Heckingbottom leading Sunderland manager hunt
Sunderland fans are increasingly demanding that Kyril Louis-Dreyfus recruit Reims manager Will Still this summer.
He’s been making headlines in France and has been a conversation point among Sunderland fans all season, with the 31-year-old first connected following Tony Mowbray’s departure late last year.
Sunderland AFC News has reported that transfer specialist Graeme Bailey believes Still is the ideal candidate for the club’s summer hire.
Since then, publications have mentioned Paul Heckingbottom as Sunderland’s top target for the summer.
He is out of work after leaving Sheffield United earlier this season.
Will Still spotted at Stamford Bridge
Belgian-English coach Still was recently spotted in England.
According to the Daily Mail, the teenage coach was at Stamford Bridge in London prior to Chelsea’s Premier League match against Everton on Monday night.
According to their report, Still was spotted outside the press room before the game.
It comes amid continuous reports that Still is being courted by his boyhood club West Ham, as well as more recent rumors that Reims are preparing for Still’s departure in the summer.
Is Will Still being primed for the Chelsea job
Still meets the criteria for a good club like Chelsea.
He’s young and imaginative, bringing out the best in some of Reims’ top young players and always gaining attention on social media.
Btu Still has stated that he believes a Premier League move in the near future would be too soon, implying that the Championship is the next best step in his career.
However, it is unclear why Still was at Stamford Bridge and why he was so close to the press room.
He may have had ties with the club, or he may have simply wanted to watch a football game as a fan.
Still, being in England gives the impression that there is a hidden purpose; whatever that meaning is will undoubtedly pique the interest of Louis-Dreyfus and his Sunderland colleagues.
The Black Cats return to Championship play this weekend against Millwall.
