Ligue 1: Bruno Genesio will still be on the Lille bench next season

Is the suspense over in Lille? 48 hours after the end of the Ligue 1 season, which saw LOSC finish in 5th place (direct qualification for the Europa League), La Voix du Nord revealed this Monday a crucial piece of information for Dogues supporters. While he had left doubts hanging in the air on Saturday at a press conference , Bruno Genesio will continue his mission at the head of the team, reports the regional daily. The Lille coach and his president Olivier Létang confirmed this personally to the northern media.

" As I've already said, Bruno will be our coach next season and I'm very happy about that. I can't think of a better coach than Bruno to help us continue to develop our project and perform, " said Létang. Arriving last summer to replace Paulo Fonseca, Genesio reached the last 16 of the Champions League with LOSC (losing to Borussia Dortmund) but failed in the last 16 of the Coupe de France against Dunkerque, on the margins of the championship, which ended just one point from the Top 4, synonymous with the Champions League.
