[Commento del direttore Yoshino Dipartimento di rafforzamento e sviluppo]
Thank you very much for your understanding, support, encouragement and cooperation for Gainare Tottori’s activities. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
At this time, I, Tomoyuki Yoshino, have decided to retire from Gainare Tottori’s Strength and Development Department and take up the position of Sports Director of Shonan Bellmare.
To be honest, I don’t know how to express this feeling.
In 2008, I was invited to join this club as a player and the people of Tottori Prefecture, including the club, fans and supporters, welcomed me very kindly, even though I didn’t know what to do. Years passed and my beloved children were born here. It was a big turning point in my life and Tottori Prefecture has become a special place. However, even after coming here, it wasn’t easy to see the results, but the shareholders, sponsors, fans and supporters who have always supported me. The promise Higashiyama made to everyone when he was ready to retire. The following year, all won promotion to J2. Everyone’s smiles at that moment still remain in my heart. However, the stage of J2 is only 3 years old. As a staff member, I have done my best to offset that frustration, but I am acutely aware that the reason I have not been able to return to J2 was because of my lack of skills as a camp manager. . I am sorry. We sincerely apologize to all of you.
I learned a lot as a footballer and as a member of society by coming to this club. Before I knew it, 15 years had passed and the Gainare Tottori club and Tottori Prefecture became my hometown. On the other hand, is it okay for me to stay like this? Over the past few years, I’ve started hearing about it. When I heard this year’s slogan, “Run,” it became a conviction.
I have to grow more and come out of my shell! ! What made me think so were the Gainare Tottori players, staff, front staff and club who wore the Gainare Tottori emblem on their backs and fought alongside them. I made this decision to grow and expand my horizons as a person.
I think there are various opinions, but I would appreciate it if you could understand.
Finally, I would like to express my gratitude to everyone involved in the club, including President Tsukano and GM Okano, who accepted my decision this time. I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to all Gainare Tottori members who love and support Gainare Tottori, and sincerely pray for the future development of Gainare Tottori.
I will never forget the time I spent with Gainare Tottori for 15 years and the love I received from everyone. I sincerely hope I can meet you again one day.
I’m really grateful to you.
