AJ Auxerre manager Will Still has received reassurances from the club's leadership about their unity following a rollercoaster start to the campaign. The coach met with president Baptiste Malherbe and sporting director David Wantier to clarify their working relationship.

The club, tenth in Ligue 1 with six points from five games, lost its first three matches before winning the last two. This sequence had raised questions. “I was assured there were no problems, that we were all aligned and that we all wanted the same thing,” Still said on the podcast of L'Yonne Républicaine.

The manager stressed the need for clear communication to prevent any frustration. “Our communication needs to be perfect, we need to tell each other things,” he added. This clarification comes at a key time as the team prepares for a tough trip to fifth-placed Rennes on October 11. The upcoming fixtures schedule shows the importance of maintaining this positive momentum. The focus is now on confirming this progress in the next match and continuing to climb the standings.
