I have been appointed Head of Youth Development of the Philippine Football Federation. I am honoured to have been given this wonderful opportunity and would like to thank all those involved for their cooperation. I am succeeding Mr. HIRATA, one of many Japanese coaches who have contributed to the development of football in the Philippines. The people here have great respect for Japan. By understanding the country's tradition, history, and culture, as well as cooperating with PFF, I will do everything in my power to help the growth of football in the Philippines and to live up to the reputation and respect that Japanese coaches have built over the years.
