Bruno Genesio could leave Lille
It has been a season of highs and lows at Lille OSC. There were the results in the UEFA Champions League 'League Phase', notably the win against Real Madrid, that was a particular high point. However, there were lows too, such as the defeat to Borussia Dortmund, which saw them exit from the competition. It is also a season that ends without qualification for next season's Champions League. Despite a win on the final day of the season, OGC Nice's victory over Stade Brestois means that LOSC only finished fifth. They will therefore play in the Europa League next season. Advertisement Whether Bruno Genesio will be on the sidelines is another question entirely, with L'Équipe casting doubt over his future. The former Stade Rennais manager arrived last summer, replacing Paulo Fonseca. L'Équipe understands that he doesn't have an 'ideal' professional relationship with president Olivier Létang. There is also frustration about the transfer window dealings and the management of contract situations. Chuba Akpom was the only arrival in January, whilst Jonathan David, Angel Gomes, Rémy Cabella, and Samuel Umtiti will all leave on free transfers. Unconsulted in the recruitment process, Genesio could exit Lille before the start of the next campaign. In order to remain, there needs to a clarification of the internal workings of the club.
