Chapter 456 New Coach

Maybe he might have made some errors. How could it be Tominaga? Hiro found it extremely hard to believe. So, he squinted his eyes. He rubbed his eyes but still nothing changed. The person running laps on the field remained unchanged. It was hard to believe but it was true. 'People are unpredictable. So, who knows he had some kind of encounter that made him want to try hard? Let's not make a big deal out of it.'

If only he knew that it was him who had triggered him. While he continued to observe him from the sidelines, Tominaga closed the distance. Since he was going to play alongside him, he thought of greeting him. Though there had been some skirmishes between them previously, he hadn't taken his words to heart. And, he wasn't childish enough to hate him either. So putting aside their past skirmishes, he tried to greet him, "Good morn...," RêAd lateSt chapters at novelhall.com Only

Even if they win with a goal, what matters in the end is winning. Possession and creative plays amount to nothing if a team cannot win. Replacing him, Hiroshi Nanami had been appointed in hopes of fixing the team. Japan had many elite players but they lacked a winning mentality. Just playing well wasn't enough to secure the title. After all, history is written by winners. Nobody remembers how good a team plays if they don't win anything. Eventually, they'll be forgotten if they fail to win. In hopes of fixing the attitude of the national team, Hiroshi Nanami had been appointed. 'I wonder what kind of person is he?' Though Hiro had seen him on the screen in his previous life, he hadn't met him in person. So, he was quite curious about his personality. Just like in his previous life, Nanami had been appointed as the head coach of the national team. Though the timing was rather off. In the previous setting, he was only appointed as the Head Coach of the national team after Japan failed to lift the upcoming World Cup. Though their performance had been commendable it wasn't enough to satisfy the fans. They were regarded as title contenders. Yet still not only did they fail to win the Asia Cup, but they also blew the chance to lift the World Cup after reaching the quarter-finals. So, the higher-ups had to make some bold decisions to enforce the team. One such decision was the resignment of Hajime Moriyasu as the Head Coach of the national. Replacing him, Nanami had been appointed to be the Head Coach of the national team. "Sigh~" Hiro let out a sigh as he recalled the events from his past life. "He only lasted for a year previously. I wonder if it'd turn out the same."

Nanami's tenure as the Head Coach of the team lasted only for a while in his previous life. Due to his eccentric personality and his approach, he was later removed as the Head Coach of the team. The team was already in shambles before his arrival due to the constant losses in major tournaments. The locker room was divided. There were factions in the locker room. The morale of the players was at an all-time low. Despite the countless difficulties he had reformed the team. But due to the lack of results, he was sacked as well. Or so they said to the public. But there was a huge conspiracy. The team was starting to take shape. For the betterment of the team, he insisted on retiring some of the legends.

However, some people in the position of higher-ups were against his decision. Even so, he remained adamant about his decision. Falling victim to dirty politics, he was later exempted from his duties. After that, it was only a downhill ride for the national team. There were rumors that he was approached to coach the team again, but he sternly refused the proposal. Later on, he went on to coach South Korea and led them to the next Asia Cup. "Truly pitiful that our people lost such a gem"

Hiro frowned as he recalled the events revolving around Nanami. Though his approach was rather eccentric, there was no doubt that he was a revolutionary coach.
