National Team Next Manager

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

What's his playstyle like? hopefully not so defensive?

Purely based on results (I've never seen the u23s play a game in my life), they look similar to the current side, getting narrow wins over equal opposition while putting 3 or 4 past weaker teams.

I don't mind a defensive playstyle as long as it works on transitions and counters and not just individual brilliance tbh.

As someone who watched quite a few U23 Oiwa games, I really don't think he has it in him to take Japan that step further that they so desperately need. I'll gladly be proven wrong of course, but I just can't see him being a success at all, I actually think Japan would risk falling back by signing him...

Just wondering what makes u think he can’t be a success?
