Losc: Genesio Resignation Rumors Denied | Ligue 1 News

Is Bruno Genesio reaching the end of his adventure in Lille? Beaten by Celta Vigo on Thursday evening in the Europa League (2-1), the Northerners and their coach remain on a terrible series of four consecutive losses and have not yet won in 2026.

Particularly upset at a press conference after the game, the 59-year-old technician seems to be short of solutions to revive his squad. “Either we don’t prepare well and it’s my fault,” he asked. Either we think we are playing a six-a-side tournament, and that is therefore also my responsibility. You have to stop. You have to assume. It’s not a coincidence. In the game, since the start of the year, it has been on the verge of scandal. »

“I will assume my responsibilities”

According to information from RMC Sport, Genesio even asked to leave the club at the end of the lost match in Galicia, which its president Olivier Létang refused. The former coach of Olympique Lyonnais had already implied this the day before, during the same press conference.

“I will assume my responsibilities,” he declared. The main person responsible is me since I’m the one who makes the team but there are a lot of people who have to question themselves and take responsibility for theirs. But I’ll take mine (…) You’ll see in the coming days what that means…”

Still according to RMC Sport, Genesio would feel bad in the North, unhappy with the squad at his disposal. Information denied by Losc in a brief press release published on the club’s social networks Friday evening. “The club and its coach join forces to deny the supposed information published in the press today,” we can read.

“All the components of Losc are focused on future deadlines, starting with the reception of the RC of Strasbourg Alsace, this Sunday January 25, 2026.” To be continued.
