Edward Still will also be accompanied by his brother Nico Still as assistant coach at KAS Eupen joining Kristoffer Andersen and Mario Kohnen to form the assistant coaching team.

We are delighted to be working with him and start this week with confidence into the next and decisive stage of the season.”
