French coach Bruno Genesio has penned a one-year contract extension with Beijing Guoan, the Chinese Super League (CSL) side announced on Friday.

Genesio was appointed as the interim caretaker after Roger Schmidt stepped down in the summer, managing seven victories out of 10 matches in the CSL and leading the capital team to second place on the table. His original contract was due to expire at the end of the year.

"We decided to extend with Mr Genesio and his team group to 2020, we are looking forward a better performance in the next season," read the club statement.

Born in 1966, Genesio came through the youth ranks of Lyon and joined the first team squad at the age of 19 before moving to another French side Nice.

Genesio started his coaching career after his retirement and has a previous four-year stint in Lyon.
