FM players are here! The Premier League relegation team officially announced that the 32-year-old young coach took office and once staged an unlicensed coach in Ligue 1

Football Manager game has attracted many loyal football fans to play all year round. What's more, he played real-life FM directly, which was William Steele, who had previously been the head coach in the Ligue 1 League.

On May 25, Southampton officially announced the appointment of 32-year-old Steele as the team's new head coach, and the two sides signed a three-year contract!

Steel was born in Belgium in 1992. His parents are British and have both Belgian and British nationalities. He loves to play football manager games. He is not only a veteran player, but also a coach with a lot of coaching experience. He has coached Liers, Billshot and Standard Liege in the Belgian League.

In 2022, he became the head coach of the Ligue 1 team Reims. In his two seasons at Reims, he led the team to the 9th and 8th place in the Ligue 1 respectively, and led the team to the 22-23 season to set a magical record of 19 unbeaten games.

However, surprisingly, Steele, who had just arrived in Ligue 1 at that time, was just the nominal coach of Reims. In fact, he had not obtained the corresponding level of coaching certificate, so the club had to pay a considerable fine for him every round.

In the summer of 2024, the highly anticipated football coach Steele took over Ligue 1 Lons and successfully led the team to 8th place in the 24-25 season.

Steel had other coaching options, but since his wife Emma Sanders was recuperating in a hospital in London, England, he decided to break up peacefully with Lens and coach an English League team next season.

Southampton's Premier League performance this season is disappointing, with the team ranked 20th in the league, and was confirmed to be relegated to the Championship 7 rounds in advance, and staged a first-round Premier League tournament.

For real-life FM players, Southampton gave him patience for three years of long appointments, which provided some guarantee for his coaching.

Southampton chose Steele, who is young enough, bold enough and good at using young players. It is obvious that he hopes that he can rely on his tactical philosophy and coaching experience to help the team revitalize morale, improve combat effectiveness, and achieve the goal of returning to the Premier League.

Steele has extensive experience in cultivating young players, which may help Southampton, who has a good youth training foundation, build a more dynamic and potential team!
