Now without a club since his departure from Lille was made official, Buno Genesio is the big favorite to succeed Habib Beye on the Olympique Lyonnais bench.

The prospect of playing in the Champions League was not enough to convince him to continue the adventure with Losc. Lille may have finished on the Ligue 1 podium, but Bruno Genesio preferred to call it quits after two seasons in the North, the last of which was very trying, particularly on a personal level.

Although he has decided to leave Lille, the former midfielder does not intend to take a step back. On the contrary, he intends to find a project this summer. The native of Lyon has no shortage of courtiers since three clubs have contacted him in recent weeks: Paris FC, AS Monaco and Olympique de Marseille.

Bruno Genesio big favorite

And it’s an understatement to say that a favorite emerges. For many, his arrival at the head of OM is no longer in doubt. Bruno Genesio is in fact clearly seduced by the Marseille project, despite the financial limits of the Olympian club. And the 59-year-old technician is the priority target of Stéphane Richard, the new president of Ciel et Blanc, and of Grégory Lorenzi, who is preparing to become the new sports director.

“Bruno Genesio has been the favorite of the new leaders for several weeks”, written like this Provence this Wednesday. Tuesday, The Team indicated for his part that the outlines of his staff were taking shape since Jeremie Bréchet, who already worked alongside him with the Mastiffs, should follow him to Marseille.

If Bruno Genesio seems on the verge of succeeding Habib Beye on the Marseille bench, the leaders of the Marseille club have considered other avenues including Christophe Galthier or Adi Hütter.
