Bruno Genesio applauded by Marseille fans at Stade Louis-II before Monaco v Marseille | OneFootball

Bruno Genesio received a warm ovation from Marseille supporters at Stade Louis-II before Sunday’s Monaco v Marseille.

According to L'Équipe, with the organised OM groups absent, many Marseille fans in another stand gave the coach an enthusiastic welcome before kick-off.

As he stepped out for the warm-up, then made his way to speak to the broadcaster at pitchside, his name was chanted repeatedly and he was applauded by a cluster of OM fans near the tunnel.

Genesio acknowledged them with a small affectionate gesture, which helped lift the mood inside the ground. The away section at Louis-II, often lively for this fixture, was empty on Sunday evening.

The Monegasque authorities had banned travel for Marseille’s organised supporter groups.
