Auxerre have appointed Will Still as their new head coach on a two-year contract, with an option for another season. The 33-year-old returns to Ligue 1 after being sacked by Southampton six months earlier in England.

Auxerre moved after parting ways with Christophe Pelissier, betting on Still’s reputation from his Reims spell and his status as one of Europe’s youngest high-profile coaches. He will lead pre-season as the club targets stability.
