On 5 October 2020, Genaro terminated his contract with the Nervionenses,[6] and signed a one-year contract with CD Mirandés in the second division just hours later.[7] He scored his first professional goal on 12 December, netting the game's only in an away success over CF Fuenlabrada.
On 13 August 2021, free agent Genaro agreed to a 1+1 deal with Málaga CF, still in the second tier.[8] The following 12 April, he renewed his contract until 2024.[9]
