Takeshi Okada is no ordinary coach. The 65-year-old tactician was the first coach to qualify Japan for the World Cup, in 1998 to be exact.
Not only once did Takeshi Okada pass Japan to the World Cup. In the second period in charge of Japan (2007-2010), a more powerful achievement was shown by the man who was the owner of the Japanese League 3 club, FC Imabari.
Takeshi Okada passes Japan into the last 16 of the 2010 World Cup! At that time in the group phase, Japan, reinforced by Shinji Okazaki and his friends, won 1-0 over Cameroon and 3-1 over Denmark.
