Japan Welcomes Alberto Zaccheroni as New Coach
JFA made a contract with Alberto Zaccheroni as new Japan National
team coach. He is the first Italian to lead Japan squad. There are
many cultural gap between Italy and Japan, I suppose, but if he
can do well in living in Japan, he is the good choice for Japan.
Before this announcement, several Spanish names and (even at the morning
of the announcement) an Arzentina name is written large on the newspaper.
As Osim and Zico were welcomed from J.League, Zac is the first coach
broght from international football's open market.
"By the time this adventure is over, I want to create a lot of great
memories and to show the fans Zaccheroni football, Zaccheroni
samurai," said Zac in Tokyo.
Japan will play against Paraguay in Yokohama on Saturday 4th, and
vs Guatemala in Osaka on Tuesday 7th. Zaccheroni will watch these two
from the stand due to the work permit.
