Will Still has overseen 17 out of those 19 games, becoming the youngest manager in Europe when he took charge on 15th October 2022. Since then, here are some Reims rankings compared to the other 97 teams in Europe’s top five leagues:
◉ No team has conceded fewer goals
◉ No other team has avoided defeat
◉ Only Barcelona have kept more clean sheets
◉ Only seven teams have won more points
In that time, only three players have scored more Ligue 1 goals than Folarin Balogun. When compared to U23 players, Erling Haaland is the only player in Europe’s top five divisions with more goals in this period
In the 21st century, the only other manager to avoid defeat in his first 17 games a top-five European league was Tito Vilanova. He did not lose any of his first 18 games in charge of Barcelona after succeeding Pep Guardiola in the 2012/13 season.
