Biography

In 1972, he retired from playing for his club, Yawata Steel (later; Nippon Steel), in which he had been one of the most successful stars, but as their manager in 1980-83 and 1987-89 he oversaw a downward spiral as the once-great club, former Emperor's Cup winners and contenders for the Japan Soccer League title, were relegated to Division 2 and, a decade later, to the Kyushu regional league, where they would stay until their demise in the late 1990s.
