oh boy now I'm on the spot.
I think your candidate pool is, more or less, Oliveira, Nishino, Oniki, Mischa, Moriyasu, Okada, and I think an argument could be made for Nelsinho Baptista as well.
Mischa has the fewest trophies, but at the same time I feel like he created such a strong culture...

A mixed record, sure, but Dani Poyatos clearly made his mark on the team & changed their play-style. I also feel he got shafted by their recruitment team at various times. It'll be interesting to see if he gets another job in the #JLeague.

Watching some Consadole Sapporo highlights... I knew Tomoki Takamine has been on a tear & a big reason why Sapporo aren't fighting relegation or anything but the quality of goals he's booting into the net is absurd.
Check his two vs. Kataller Toyama 😳

Japan Football Association President Tsuneyasu Miyamoto called the announced attendance of 31,414 at today's Emperor's Cup final a "sad number" and said there were multiple factors involved, citing a need for thorough review.

Oh i was discussing this with a colleague yesterday so nice to get some clarity (well, ok there are some weird permutations especially wrt to the. 100 Year Vision league lol)
The winner of today's Emperor's Cup final between Machida Zelvia and Vissel Kobe will get a spot in the 2026-27 ACL2.
UNLESS either of them win the 2025-26 ACLE or the 100 Year Vision League, both of which would offer them direct entry to the 2026-27 ACLE.
In that case...

Switching to Sports360, hopefully Kuryu Matsuki can find a new club in the winter. Really needs to get game time & his confidence back.
I wrote a couple years ago that he should go to the Bundesliga as his first European destination & I still stand by that.
