This time Bruno Genesio is first in line. Shadow man since 2005 at OL, child of the capital of the Gauls and the club has always been the assistant coach is well replace Hubert Fournier. OL communicated its decision yesterday, confirming a trend revealed by this newspaper from 10 December. “The first part of the season was well below the expectations of the club in sport,” explains the official text, without ever mentioning the name or the fate of Fournier. The latter, after Lyon qualified for the first time in the Champions League during his first season, appeared to lose control this year. It leaves the private team European Cup and 9 th of the championship.
The president Jean-Michel Aulas, who granted his confidence until the end of season Genesio to, justify its choice Monday. He will have to convince, for he had first promised in the event of change, “one coach continued success for some time.” The Lyon public is very reserved in respect of a coach at the club attached but has a very limited experience as No. 1. Genesio, 49, led three teams: Villefranche-sur-Saône in CFA (1998-2000), Besançon National (2004) and the reserve of the OL in CFA (2009-2010). In his first two clubs, he sailed down the table, while the reserve Olympian finished 4 th in their pool and won the Championship of France pros reserves under him. It was on his assistant experience Houllier, Perrin, Puel Fournier Guard and the club has mainly rely. Players hand, divorce was consumed with Fournier. Genesio remains now to prove it can cut to the quick and make a new suit. “Bruno is the house says a player. It works well and is very familiar with the group. Now it’s a completely different role. It is able to be assertive, we’ll see. “
Near Lacazette
Genesio has the advantage of proximity to the players from training and very good relations with Alexandre Lacazette. “He grew up a new generation, says Thomas Fontaine, Auxerre player (L 2) which was run by Genesio in CFA. He knows how to manage each player personally. He has a winning mentality and he is a little cash. When it was not, it does not specifically uttered gueulantes, but we quickly made it clear. “Gilles Rousset, youth goalkeeper coach of the OL, has, meanwhile, knew him as a player Genesio at OL and as a coach in CFA” When Galtier took over Perrin (note: in 2009 in Saint-Etienne) , many had questions. Galtier and did a great job for six years. Yet it has long been No. 2. “
Georges Prost, director of the training center of Lyon from 2007 to 2010, also worked with the new leader of the OL. It summarizes its strengths and weaknesses, “It’s in the Lyon tradition of giving the reins to someone homegrown. It has been proven as an assistant. After, when we took over, we must show something different. For him to prove his potential and to seize his chance. “With a qualifying spot for the Champions League goal and an entry in the new stadium from January 9, opportunities are sure.
