Régis Hervé Genaux (31 August 1973 - 8 November 2008) was a Belgian football fullback. Mainly a right back, he could also operate in the centre.
After having started playing football with R. Charleroi S.C., Genaux began his professional career aged 17 at Standard de Liège, where he helped to win one Belgian Cup and two league runner-up places. In 1996, Genaux moved to England, joining Coventry City. Genaux's spell at Coventry lasted just half a season, with only 4 Premier League appearances before he moved, in January 1997, to Italy's Udinese Calcio.
Due to persisting injuries during the most part of his career, Genaux retired at just 29, after having returned to Standard for a final season. Afterwards, he moved into coaching, starting with the youths at RAA Louviéroise and R.C.S. Verviétois. For a few months in 2006, he took the reins of third level side RFC Sérésien (formerly Seraing).
Genaux died aged 35 in November 2008 from heart failure, due to a pulmonary embolism.
