After the friendly matches against the national teams of Mali (1: 1) and Ukraine (1: 2), the Japan Football Federation decided to dismiss the head coach, who failed to achieve a positive result with the teams that did not qualify for the World Cup.
Kozo Tashima - head of the FFJ - announced that the name of the head coach will be known to the public in the near future.
The main candidate for the vacancy is Makoto Teguramori, who previously coached the Olympic team at the OI-2016 (scored 4 points and did not leave the group), and also was Assistant Khalilhojic in the adult team.
Recall that at the World Cup 2018 team of Japan fell into one group with the teams of Colombia, Senegal and Poland.
