Will Still has signed his contract to become the new Southampton head coach.
Sky Sports News understands it is a three-year deal, while his backroom team are also finalising their contracts.
Still is set to be at Southampton’s game against Arsenal at St Mary’s on Sunday.
The 32-year-old left Ligue 1 club Lens on May 18 and Southampton have moved quickly to secure his services.
Still left Reims in 11th place, the same position which they achieved last season, though the Ligue 1 club slumped in the second half of last term, having held fourth place at one stage.
Still’s impressive work in France last year gained a lot of talk over potential future employment in England.
During the 2022/23 season Still’s success had caught the eye of English clubs so much that he was linked to the Leeds, Sunderland and Southampton jobs.
