    Will Still: Southampton Regret, 'Video Game Manager' & Messi’s PSG | The Overlap Breakdown

    18/05/2026 | 1h 19 mins.
    In this episode of The Overlap Breakdown, Harrison sits down with one of football’s most exciting young coaches, Will Still.

    From his unconventional journey into coaching - to becoming the youngest manager in Europe’s top five leagues, Will shares the reality behind his rapid rise. He talks about the famous fines at Stade de Reims and responds to his “video game manager” label.

    Will reflects on his time at Southampton, opening up on the challenges of English football, what didn’t go to plan and whether he was given enough time.

    The conversation also explores life at the top level, including preparing to face PSG’s front three of Messi, Mbappé and Neymar, and working with young talents like Abdukodir Khusanov and Hugo Ekitike.
