Lille: Genesio in the crosshairs of OM

Bruno Genesio is moving closer to leaving LOSC at the end of the current sports season.

The situation contrasts with the sporting results. Lille has regained third place in Ligue 1. With one match left, facing Auxerre on Sunday, May 17, the Dogues could secure a direct qualification for the Champions League. According to L’Équipe, the 59-year-old coach, whose contract ends in June, is not likely to extend his stay in the North. A meeting with the club’s directors is scheduled in a few days.

Lille is looking for a new coach

Meanwhile, Bruno Genesio himself remains vague. “Today, the club has not shown any signs of anything,” he said. In a press conference, he also confirmed receiving external offers. Olympique de Marseille is among the suitors. According to La Provence, the French coach is on Marseille’s shortlist to succeed Habib Beye. The arrival of Grégory Lorenzi as sporting director could facilitate this process.

Lille is preparing for the scenario of a departure. Contacts have reportedly been made with Stéphane Dumont, crowned best coach in Ligue 2. Thiago Motta is also on the radar of the Lille team. The coming weeks will be decisive for the future of the Dogues.
