Gilson Wilson Francisco, better known as Gilson Gênio (Itaguaí, June 20, 1957 — Rio de Janeiro, May 28, 2017), was a Brazilian football coach and footballer, who played as a left winger.

Gilson was the brother of Gilcimar, who also played as a winger, only on the right side of attack. Gilcimar played in teams like Fluminense, America, Inter de Limeira, Bahia — interestingly, all teams in which his brother would also play —, Palmeiras, Cruzeiro, Itaperuna, Rio Claro and Jataí-GO.

As a player
Revealed in the base divisions of Fluminense, Gilson received the nickname "Genius" in 1976, when the Ilha Flu fans decided to put a banner in the stands of Laranjeiras to honor him. The nickname pleased Gilson, who has since used it.

Still at Fluminense, already in the professional squad, Gilson Gênio was part of Máquina Tricolor, in which he participated in the Rio de Janeiro championship won in 1975 and 1976.

Afterwards, he played for clubs such as Bahia, America-RJ, Grêmio, Bangu, Inter de Limeira and Santa Cruz.

As a coach
After ending his career as a player, Gilson Genio decided to start coaching activities at the club that revealed him. He worked for several opportunities in the basic categories of Tricolor Carioca, having even had two opportunities to show his work also in the professional team.

Gilson was asked in 2003 and also in 2009, when, during the Carioca Championship dispute, René Simões was fired from his position and the board hurriedly requested that Gilson command the professional squad in training before the next matches.

Still in the base divisions of Fluminense, he helped to reveal some players, as is the case of Carlos Alberto, who emerged as a great revelation in Tricolor, and who spent four years under Gilson's care. In the professional team, however, he was unable to show his best football and, shortly after spending the 2002–03 season with Flu, he was traded to Porto de Portugal.

Another player revealed in Fluminense and who passed through the hands of Gilson Genio was Rodrigo Tiuí, whose first coach was Gilson Genio himself. When he appeared in Xerém and moved up to the main squad, Tiuí was considered a "jewel" of the basic categories of Tricolor. Like Carlos Alberto, however, he ended up not being successful in the professional team and was soon loaned to Noroeste and Santos to gain experience. When he returned to Laranjeiras, he was soon traded permanently to Sporting, who was also Portuguese.

Between the end of 2010 and the beginning of 2011, he was in charge of the command of America-RJ.

He also coached the São Cristóvão team in 2012.

In 2012, he worked in the under-20 squad of the mineiro Itaúna, in 2012.

Between April and October 2013, he commanded the São Pedro team, in Série C of the Campeonato Carioca, which almost won access to Série B in 2014. In 23 matches played in the third division under the command of Gilson, the Aldeense club obtained a 68.1% in the competition: 15 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses. However, despite the good use and the almost classification, Gilson Genio was fired from the position, in October 2013, for not obtaining access.
