Yokohama FC, who was ranked last in soccer J1 this season and has been demoted to J2, announced that Shuhei Yomoda, who was the manager at Consadole Sapporo, will be appointed as the new manager from next season.
Mr. Shikata is 48 years old from Chiba prefecture.
Although he has no experience playing as a professional soccer player, he has been an assistant coach of Consadole Sapporo since 1999.
After that, he coached and coached Consadole's team under the age of 18, and then coached the top team from the middle of the 2015 season to 2017.
From 2018, I have been supporting the team as a head coach, but after receiving an offer from Yokohama FC, I will be appointed as a coach next season.
Tomonobu Hayakawa, who took command from the middle of this season, will be appointed as a coach.
Yokohama FC will sink to the bottom of 6 wins, 23 losses and 9 draws in J1 this season, and will be demoted to J2 next season, aiming to return to J1 under the newly appointed Mr. Shikata.
Mr. Shikatada said, "I am very honored to be selected as the manager of this club who can support many people. I will do my best to return this benefit of the offer as a result of J1 promotion." I am commenting.
