Pocognoli made his Genk debut, where he came on as a substitute for Marco Ingrao in the second half, in a 1–0 win over Gent on 9 April 2004, which turns out to be his own appearance this season.[6] However, newly–Manager René Vandereycken sent him to the reserve team the following season.[5] In 2006 he made a first team breakthrough at the club[5] and played his first game for the past two years on 22 January 2006, where he made his first start and played 69 minutes before being substituted in a 2–1 loss against Charleroi.[7] In the next game against Westerlo on 28 January 2006, Pocognoli scored his first Genk goal (and his first professional goal), in a 2–0 win.[8] He finished the 2005–06 season with fifteen appearances and one goal.
