January 4 – Former Japan international Keisuke Honda will no longer serve as general manager of Cambodia’s national team after the Southeast Asian Games in May, the country’s football federation has announced.
He will step down from his role as general manager following Cambodia’s exit from the regional tournament after losing 3-1 to Thailand. But the Japanese legend will continue in Cambodia at the U22 level. Honda arrived in Cambodia in 2018, but has so far not made a major impact.
The former player is a huge star in Japan and represented the Samurai Blue at three consecutive World Cups in 2010, 2014 and 2018.
Honda played for AC Milan, CSKA Moscow and Botafogo during his club career.
