Manager Otake commented, “I feel responsible for not getting the results I wanted. I’m sorry to leave in the middle of the season, but I hope the club will continue to develop.”
In addition, it was announced that general manager Akinori Noborio, who joined the predecessor Volka Kagoshima in 2013 and has served as general manager since 2015 during the JFL era, will retire. “I felt responsible for Otake leaving the team, and decided to resign.”
Head coach Yasuaki Oshima has been appointed as the successor manager, and will take command from the away game against Giravanz Kitakyushu on the 26th of this month.
