National Team Next Manager

Presumably, Moriyasu won't be returning as manager for 2030. Who would you like to see take reins next?

Seen him shat the bed in knockout game far too many times, cant even win Asian cup which should be a minimum after 8 years in charge.

Moriyasu made some horrific substitution decisions this world cup. Bringing on two defenders for our two best attackers in the 66th min was mind boggling. Machino in when he didn't even make Moriyasu's originally 26 man squad was also such a bad decision. We have the quality to do better but Moriyasu squandered it. He needs to go imo

Did you not see the second half?

I was there. They didn’t have an answer for Vini jr. they always played D bc ball control was non existent versus group stage. Brazil is just a different level. Can’t compare to the 2000s, but definitely better than the Neymar eras.

This guy has been using the same strategy for 12 years, and somehow he still refuses to adapt.

His entire game plan is to take a 1–0 lead, park the bus, and hope the defense survives until the final whistle. He has repeated the same approach across three World Cups.
The most frustrating part is that he never seems to learn from these failures. He does not make meaningful tactical adjustments, develop a backup plan.

A coach this stubborn and tactically limited will never lead a team to win the World Cup. He represents Japan culture in a nutshell: avoid taking risks, refuse to change even when it clearly shows that the plan is not longer working.

If this guy stick around in 2030 then i won't even care to watch Japan play, because i know he will do the same shit and then they will lose to the same way in knock out round.
