This disastrous run has left manager Bruno Genesio—under contract until 2028—clinging to his job, with looming financial sanctions from UEFA and the DNCG compounding the misery. Amidst the turmoil, former star Iliman Ndiaye, who recently joined Manchester City in a £60 million deal, has unexpectedly expressed his affection for the club and a desire to return to rescue them.
