Miguel Angel Rotina, who is from Spain and has commanded at Cerezo Osaka, has been appointed as the new coach of soccer J1 and Vissel Kobe.

Rotina is 64 years old from Spain.


He came to Japan in 2017 as the coach of J2's Tokyo Verdy after coaching several clubs in the Spanish First Division.



After that, he also commanded J1 Cerezo and Shimizu S-Pulse, and has a reputation for building a team that emphasizes solid defense.



Mr. Rotina said at a press conference on the 8th about the current situation of Vissel, who has not won nine games since the opening and has the most goals in the league. I didn't come to Japan. I want to combine my own way with the characteristics of the team's playing style. "



He said, "I'm happy to be the manager of a great club. I'm sure we'll get good results if we all work together."



Vissel dismissed former coach Atsuhiro Miura on the 20th of last month, and Lluís Planaguma Ramos, a young coach, was tentatively in charge of the coach, so it will be the second coach change as early as this season.



Rotina will take command from the match against Cerezo at home on the 10th.
