31-year-old is highly rated by owner Kyril Louis-DreyfusStill has guided Reims to sixth place in Ligue 1
Will Still is on Sunderland’s shortlist to replace Tony Mowbray as manager, with the 31-year-old having impressed the owner, Kyril Louis-Dreyfus, during his spell at the French club Reims.
Mowbray was sacked on Monday after 15 months in charge amid reports of a disagreement with the club’s sporting director, Kristjaan Speakman. His departure came two days after Sunderland’s 1-1 draw at Millwall, which extended their poor recent run to one win from their past five games.
