Reims manager Will Still flirts with West Ham United amid speculation
Reims manager Will Still has admitted that he is a big West Ham fan amid links with the London Stadium due to team’s bad run of form.
While he hasn’t been outright linked with the Hammers, he has picked an opportune moment to flirt with the club.
This comes in the midst of David Moyes fighting to keep his job at the London Stadium as they’re facing a relegation battle.
“I just try to be myself, I don’t try to be Jose Mourinho or Pep Guardiola, because I’m not – you know I’m 30, I’m just Will and I’m trying to win a few games of football.” Still told talkSPORT Drive on 3 February at 4:30pm.
“Course I do (have aspirations to manage in the Premier League), but again I’m only 30 and I think I’ve got enough time ahead of me. But coming home – because it feels like coming home – would probably be one of my goals in years to come.
“If I say (what my dream job is) I’m scared other teams aren’t going to ring me up! But West Ham… (it would be) West Ham. I’ve always been a big West Ham fan.”
It seems like Still is dropping hints about West Ham knowing that there could be an availability soon with Moyes’ future on tenterhooks.
The Hammers manager is clearly not delivering upto expectations and there’s only so much credit he can have in the bank before the board makes the call to sack him.
They have parted ways with managers in the past that have been higher than what the Hammers currently are in the table.
Still could be a decent option to replace Moyes as his Reims side are punching above their weight in France.
West Ham have a pretty good squad assembled and it’s balanced and ideal to play an attacking brand of football.
Under Moyes, the criticism has been that they’re way too passive and maybe a new manager with a contrasting style is just what they need to move forward.
