Comment from Akihiro Nakayama, President and CEO of Yokohama Marinos Co., Ltd.
“The most important thing when selecting a manager was to bring in a coach who could continue Yokohama F. Marinos’ attractive attacking style of football while further deepening the team.
Mr. Harry Kewell concluded the contract because he judged that he could build a team that would meet these conditions and deliver dreams, excitement, and smiles to everyone.
During his playing days, Mr. Kewell played an active role in attacking positions at top clubs in England, Turkey, Australia, and other countries.
As a captain, he led many matches and won numerous titles. Furthermore, as a member of the Australian national team, he played at the World Cup in Germany and South Africa, and was a key player in the Australian team’s success at the 2011 Asian Cup, where they won runner-up. .
After retiring as an active player, he started his coaching career as a manager at Crawley Town FC, and in 2022 supported Ange Postecoglou, who was the manager at Celtic FC at the time, as a member of the coaching staff.
We believe that Mr. Kewell is the best choice to lead Yokohama F. Marinos to a higher stage due to his affinity with the style of soccer they are aiming for.
We would like to thank all our fans, supporters, partners, sponsors, and our hometowns of Yokohama, Yokosuka, and Yamato for your continued support.”
