Accustomed to defending his French colleagues, Bruno Genesio was relaunched on the subject at a press conference this Monday, and clarified his position by taking an eloquent example: Eric Roycoach of Brest.
The work of French coaches underestimated?
On his own, he is a bit like the image of these French technicians who have been performing well for many years, but whose popularity is still limited. Because of limited valorization of French technicians? “ I find that we value foreign coaches much more than French coachesanswers Bruno Genesio. I'm not going to talk about myself to avoid any controversy, I'm going to talk about Eric Roy. Do you hear a lot about Eric Roy? Who does extraordinary things! In the Champions League AND in Ligue 1! But we don't talk about it a lot, we don't say that it's extraordinary or great. »
The Brest coach and the Lille technician are the only two French representatives in this edition of the Champions League, out of 36 clubs. While in Ligue 1, pride of place is also given to the Spaniard Luis Enrique (Paris), the Italian Roberto DeZerbi (Marseille) or the surprising English Liam Rosenior (Strasbourg). « He is not no question of making a split between foreign coaches, many of whom are of high quality, and French coachestempers Bruno Genesio. I just find that in France, we don't necessarily highlight the work of French coaches. » He will still have the opportunity to prove his worth against Juventus this Tuesday evening, after having shone against Real Madrid and Atlético.
