Kisnorbo apparently sacked at Yokohama

It was announced on the 15th that Yokohama F. Marinos manager Patrick Kisnorbo (44), who is currently at the bottom of the J1 League, will be fired. According to sources, the decision was made by sporting director Tsutomu Nishino (54) and other senior officials after the team lost two official matches in a row to Niigata, both of which are in the relegation zone. It was also revealed that Kenta Kawai (44), who led Tosu (currently in J2) until the middle of last season, will be his successor.

Kisnorbo took over as interim manager in April after his predecessor, Haaland, was fired, and was promoted to manager in May. He changed the tactics to make more use of long balls, sealing off the team’s greatest weapon, attacking football. However, he managed the team in 10 official matches, winning 2 and losing 8, and in the second round of the Emperor’s Cup on the 11th, they were completely defeated by ReinMeer Aomori of the JFL.

The team’s situation was becoming more serious. The club’s first ever emergency situation, in which a manager was fired twice during the season. Furthermore, it seems that Kawai’s invitation was made unilaterally by some of the upper echelons, and there is growing distrust within the club due to the opaque process. The wandering of this prestigious club, which has never been relegated, continues.
