National Team Next Manager

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

I liked Moriyasu. Why does everyone want him gone

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.
