Three losses in a row for Lens and Will Still comes out of silence. The Artesian coach drops a declaration that challenges and reacts.

The RC Lens is going through a complicated period. After an encouraging start to the season, the Sang et Or chained the counter-performance and have just recorded a third consecutive defeat in the championship against Nantes (3-1). This setback relegates them to eighth place in the ranking and plunges the club into a negative spiral. Faced with this situation, Will Still spoke, and his words, tinged with frustration, quickly reacted. The Lensois coach seems to be in doubt, to the point of suggesting that, it does not matter who would be in his place, the situation would remain the same.

A disillusioned coach

In a speech that is both lucid and fatalistic, Will Still did not look for an apology. “You can put who you want in my place, it will be complicated”, He said after the defeat in Nantes. An admission that reflects the current club difficulties and its inability to find solutions. The Belgian technician acknowledges that the group is losing bearings after a winter transfer window that has turned the workforce upside down. Several executives have left, and the new recruits are struggling to integrate.

Still insists that lack of confidence and cohesion is a deep problem. “You have to be silent, you have to accept, tell yourself the truth. We must remain united ”,

He added, calling on his players to react collectively to get out of this bad pass.

Will Still's words that sow doubt.

Lens in crisis, Still in danger?

If Will Still's statement has been talked about, it also raises a question: is her future on the Lensois bench threatened? Officially, club management maintains his confidence, but internally, the situation worries. The Belgian coach himself seems aware of the pressure that accumulates. “There is necessarily a lack of confidence and benchmarks”, he conceded, implying that the changes made this winter have unbalanced his team.

Lens must react quickly under penalty of seeing their European ambitions move away definitively. Will Still find the solutions to relaunch his group or will this declaration mark the start of the end for him at the head of the RC Lens? The next few weeks will be decisive.
