Olivier Létang backs Bruno Genesio to stay, coach to be on LOSC bench at Angers if played

According to L'Équipe, president Olivier Létang does not plan to part with head coach Bruno Genesio at Lille and wants a collective response to halt the slump.

Thursday's 1-0 Europa League play-off defeat to Red Star Belgrade hit Genesio hard.

After the match he questioned his players' commitment, saying they had fallen well below the required values. Despite a difficult start to the year on a personal level, he added that he was ready to face his responsibilities.

Létang shares that stance, seeking solutions within the group to end the negative run. He continues to back Genesio and believes the squad can turn the situation around.

Genesio is due to travel to Angers and take his place on the bench if the match goes ahead, with rising waters on the Maine threatening the fixture.
