His first team has been Saint-Etienne, than he passed in Dijon leading the Club from Ligue 2 to Ligue 1. In 2010 Garcia became the coach of Lille, permitting the Club the victory of the French championship 57 years after the last time. His work has been concentrated on the growth of some young talents: Debuchy, Rami, Cabaye and Hazard, later transferred in important European Clubs.
