Former Japan soccer star Shunsuke Nakamura, 47, will join the coaching staff for Japan’s World Cup team, the Japan Football Association announced Thursday.
The former Japan’s midfielder will accompany the national team to the FIFA World Cup, which will be held in the United States and other countries in June and July.
I share the same aspirations as the players and will strive to contribute to achieving the goals the team has set, he said via the JFA.
Having left Yokohama FC at the end of last year, Nakamura reportedly received an offer from Japan coach Hajime Moriyasu and had been in negotiations with the national team.
