The 30-year-old, who was born in Belgium to English parents, has impressed in Ligue 1 this term.
Still started his coaching career at Preston North End in the academy and later became a video analyst at Sint-Truiden and Standard Liege. He then had spells at Lierse and Beerschot before moving to Reims as an assistant initially.
He has since become the number one at Stade Auguste-Delaune and has done a decent job so far. His side are currently 8th in the table and have Arsenal loan striker Folarin Balogun up front.
Spurs have a big decision to make on which direction they want to go in now. Still is obviously a bright young coach but his lack of experience in the Premier League is something that needs to be considered.
