Former Japanese national football team Jubilo Iwata's Okubo left this season only at 12:56 on December 12
Next season, Yoshito Okubo, who played in Jubilo Kamata, who was demoted to soccer J2, will be leaving this season only.
Okubo is 37 years old.
Since 2013, he has been the top scorer for the third consecutive year in J-League history, and the Japanese national team has played in two World Cups.
I transferred to Jubilo Kamata from Kawasaki Frontale in the middle of last season and scored 185 points, the highest ever in J1, but in this season, I played 20 games and only scored one.
Jubilo is the 18th lowest in J1 this season, and the second J2 relegation has been decided for the first time in 5 seasons.
Okubo has left the club because the club has decided not to renew the contract for the next season.
Okubo commented through the club, “I am sorry that I couldn't help in the season when there was a tough residual battle. My passion for football has not faded. I will continue to do my best.”
