Japan Football Association renews Moriyasu contract
The Japanese Football Association has extended head coach Hajime Moriyasu's contract until 2027, to lead the national team at the upcoming Asian Cup scheduled to be held in Saudi Arabia from January 7 to February 5. This extension comes after Moriyasu's success in guiding Japan to the knockout stages of the 2022 World Cup, including victories over Germany and Spain, before losing to Croatia in a penalty shootout. Moriyasu is considered the longest-serving coach of the Japanese national team since taking over after the 2018 World Cup, and he will be succeeded by Gozu Oiwa if his contract ends, regardless of the tournament's results.
