Shimizu S-Pulse, who has been sluggish in 16th place in soccer J1, has announced that he will cancel the contract with Rotina, who took office this season, and that coach Hiroaki Hiraoka will be appointed as the new coach.
S-Pulse lost 0-4 to the match against FC Tokyo on the 3rd, and has been sluggish at 16th place with 7 wins, 16 losses and 11 draws in 34 games so far, and the difference in points from 17th place in the relegation zone is small. It is "2".
In response to this situation, S-Pulse announced on the 4th that it will cancel the contract with Director Rotina.
Spanish-born 64-year-old Rotina has been coaching at Cerezo Osaka for the last two seasons, strengthening his organizational defenses and growing into a team that can compete for the top spot.
I became the manager of S-Pulse from this season, but I couldn't improve the team's performance because the defense of the task that was the most goals in the league last season was not improved.
It was also announced that coach Hiraoka will be promoted from the inside to take office as the successor coach.
Coach Hiraoka was a 52-year-old from Shizuoka prefecture, and after playing at S-Pulse and Consadole Sapporo at that time, he served as a coach for Albirex Niigata.
Last season, the coach changed from coach to coach at the end of the season due to poor results.
