To succeed Hubert Fournier at the helm of Olympique Lyonnais and revive a team in trouble, Jean-Michel Aulas has appointed a man of thought, Bruno Genesio, as coach.
Jean-Michel Aulas has flaws. But also many qualities. One of them is to defend at all costs his coach. He has shown in the past now, rightly, Paul Le Guen, Alain Perrin and Claude Puel, while they were going through a difficult period. To his credit, one coach fired during the season, Guy Stéphan in October 1996, 28-year presidency. Since Thursday, this statistic has doubled. The charismatic president of the OL decided to oust Hubert Fournier, enmeshed in a crisis that was not able to stem. To extinguish the fire, Aulas has privileged internal solution. While we waited Lucien Favre or Leonardo, he promoted Bruno Genesio, Fournier assistant coach and is the club for over forty years.
He signed its first license in Lyon in 1971, then aged five. Apart from two loans in Nice (1993-94) and Martigues (1995-96) and as many little success coaching experiences, Villefranche-sur-Saône (1999-2001) and in Besançon (2005-06) Genesio has known only Olympique Lyonnais. After 171 matches between 1985 and 1995, he joined the coaching staff in 2005. He rubs coaches Gérard Houllier, Alain Perrin, Claude Puel, Remi Garde and Hubert Fournier, succession in the role of observer opponents, the reserve coach and assistant coach with the latter two. So he knows the institution as a person.
This is also why it was chosen. “Bruno Genesio has a deep knowledge of the club and young professionals from the Academy with some of which it was France champion professional reserves as coach in 2011 , says the club in the press release confirming its Induction. [...] Bruno Genesio acquired the principles of the demands of the elite which implies, in particular, know how to integrate new players to ensure a strong group cohesion “. Unlike an external solution, favored initially by Aulas and Jerome Seydoux, second largest shareholder of the club, the new strongman Gones to the advantage of living within the workforce. It has the suitable profile to put the pieces together in a group halved between grown players (Lacazette, Umtiti, Tolisso, attic …) which represent the basis of the membership of which is close and recruits (Beauvue, Darder, Valbuena, Yanga-Mbiwa) subscribers in box “flop” since the beginning of the season.
For 49 years, Bruno Genesio has a unique chance to finally emerge from the shadows. But already, time is short. In addition to internal tensions, he will address a sporting location not far from catastrophic. Eliminated from all European competitions, OL remains five defeats in six League matches 1. The ninth place to the truce, with only 26 points on the clock, is far from the goals set in the early season. Engaged for six months, Genesio take office on December 28 for the resumption of training and will have the difficult task of bringing Gones on the podium of the championship. Before why not enroll in time, like Rémi Garde, the last coach believed to have guided the ship Lyon (2011-2014).
