As a manager, Van Geneugden had most of his successes with Oud-Heverlee Leuven, leading them to the Belgian Second Division title in 2010-11, hence gaining promotion to the 1st division for season 2011-12, he was rewarded with a contract extension to 2015. Despite two successful seasons in the 1st division where Oud-Heverlee Leuven finished mid-table, his contract was terminated on 21 January 2014 as his team sat second bottom of the 1st division after a poor first half of the 2013-14 season.
In april 2017, Van Geneugden signed a 2 year-deal in Malawi as the head coach of the national team.
He played for Thor Waterschei, RKC Waalwijk, Antwerp, SK Lommel, Germinal Ekeren, Lokeren and Verbroedering Geel.
