Hato The Sailor Man

As rumoured over the last couple of weeks, it's now been confirmed that Yasuhiro Hato has returned to Yokohama F Marinos following his release by the Squirrels at the end of last season. Meanwhile the club have also announced the arrival of two new members of the coaching staff, in the shape of Koji Gyotoku and Kiyoto Furushima. Gyotoku, who will be working with the first team, has spent most of his coaching career at Shimizu S-Pulse, although his most recent position was as national team boss of Bhutan. Wow. Anyway, goalkeeping coach Furushima comes to Ardija from Shonan Bellmare.
