Coach's Comment
TERAMINE Akira
I have been assigned to the MFF Academy in Yangon which was established last year. My responsibility is to coach the U-13 players and to educate coaching staff in the academy. I will build up on what Coach Koga has been working over a year. Together with the cooperation of MFF President Mr. Zaw Zaw, Technical Director Mr. Tin Myint Aung, and other MFF staff members, I will do my best to help Myanmar soccer to achieve their long awaiting goal of reaching the World Cup.
YOSHIDA Akira
I have been appointed to work for the MFF Academy in Pathein. Having Mr. Koga in Mandalay and Mr. Teramine in Yangon, I feel the high expectation towards Japanese coaches. By sharing the MFF’s future vision of player development with MFF President Zaw Zaw and Technical Director Tin Myint Aung, I will work hard with the players with great potential in close cooperation with local coaches,. I will give my best to develop good footballers by facing them sincerely, but also implementing fun to the programme.
