It doesn’t reflect well on A League that the coach of one of its biggest clubs leaves to take up an assistant role in Japan. Aloisi did the same when he left Brisbane

Some talk from Victory sources that he is taking over at Oxford Utd. That would make sense in terms of needing an immediate departure.


There would be no need to leave immediately for an assistant role in Japan. They've just finished their season, the players are all on holiday, pre season starts in the new year. League starts in March. An immediate departure does not make sense for a J-League role.


Regardless, J-League management is a proven pathway for Australia managers to Europe.



Guess we will find out one way or the other shortly.

That Peacock guy (can’t remember his first name) was on RSN this morning and he said Kisnorbo has taken on asst role at Yokohama. City group part owners so that may be part of the attraction

Once again that doesn't conflate with an immediate departure. J-League clubs are on holiday, they don't start pre season until the new year.

A lot of prep needs to happen before players return. He’s made a commitment to join so may as well leave now

Firstly he would need to agree a contract termination before he could do that. Considering he's just signed a 3 year contract and MVFC would have planned the team around that the immediate response from the club would have likely been no. And that normally takes time to agree. Ideally the club would want to identify a new manager first before agreeing a termination and compensation would need to be discussed as he had just signed up. There's processes involved. J-League clubs currently aren't doing anything, there certainly wouldn't be a need for an immediate termination if he has in fact joined a J-League club.

The other rumor going around is Oxford has signed him. And that does make sense for an immediate termination.

He’s not even in the top 10 on betting sites for Oxford job so not sure where you’re getting that info. Just passing on what Adam Peacock said and I’d say he’d have better contacts than either of us

Yes I am aware. I'm simply stating the reality that any J-League job wouldn't require PK to agree an immediate termination with MVFC.

There are 3 clubs in J-League 1 that have no manager currently as it is the off season for example.
 
Shaun Ontong is also current assistant at Yokohama. No annoucement he is leaving or had taken on a new role somewhere else.
Steve Holland just been appointed manager and new HOF

Don't bother, if he ends up at Yokohama Zidane will say he had always thought he would go there but won't be able to find the posts.

But but but, it’s the injuries. And not the 19 wins from his last 50 league fixtures lol.
You don't think one relates to the other?
