Surprising about Ichise, because she is still a good player and only 26. She seems to have a clear idea of what she wants to do, so I wish her the best of luck. She can also say that she went to a world cup which only a few people can say.

 

Bye bye Nana...
For what it's worth imo Nana Ichise together with Miki Ito and Hanae Shibata never had a fair crack of the whip from the 1993 Nadeshiko League MVP Asano Takakura...for this reason
(I've always thought she was very reluctant to pick players of slight stature for no reason other than their stature)
Ps..I realise Nana wasn't that small

 

According to wikipedia she played seven times in 2017 for Nadeshiko. She has been injured a lot throughout her career, so her retirement makes a lot more sense.

I think Ichise was given a pretty good chance to prove herself. What I do not understand is why she dropped out of favour so quickly with Takakura. But Takakura was always tinkring with her squads.

But I agree with you regarding Miki Itoh and Hanae Shibata. Shibata in particular is incredibly unlucky to have only played once for Nadeshiko, which was under Sasaki in 2015. Given how many players Takakura tried in midfield you think both Itoh and Shibata would have been given a chance to prove themselves, but as you say, they were probably deemed to small; and they also did not play for Beleza.

 

I want to add one more; one of my favorite players in the past, Hara Natsuko.
Surprisingly, she sometimes appears as a commentator for Dazn We League games.

 

Apologies to Takakura san for referring to her as Asano Takakura yesterday

Jun Endo traveled with the team to Portland, Oregon, after suffering a knee injury last game. The Equalizer’s Taylor Vincent reported that she had her knee ‘immobilized.’ After the matchup, Coombe said Endo has an injury to her “knee ligaments” but not her ACL.

Tomoe Tanabe resigned as AS Elfen Saitama coach.

田邊友恵監督 辞任のお知らせ

この度、トップチームの田邊友恵監督より辞任の申し入れを受け、受理することを決定いたしました。
6月3日（土）のサンフレッチェ広島レジーナ戦から、安達宏道（現・強化担当）が監督として指揮を執ります。

Do I read this right? Her resignation is because she didn't reach expected target:

"middle rank or higher in the table with 10 more goals scored and 10 less goals conceded at the end of the season compared to Elfen's last season: (Points: 13 / GS:13 / GC:33 / (GD: -20)



Sorry but it stinks. It looks like club hired her only if she agreed to an impossible task:
building the team during ongoing season... one that in the end will finish 5th or above in the table:
which means (on average) 25 points or more and around +5 GD

....or club board overreacted after 9-0 loss in Tokyo and went full scapegoat mode.

Bizzare.

Changing coaches every year without investing in stronger roster won't make much difference.

 

We can confirm that Kerys Harrop, Chioma Ubogagu, Kyah Simon, So-hyun Cho, Esther Morgan and Mana Iwabuchi have left the Club.

All of these players have played an important part in the Club’s journey and we wish them well for the future.

From what I read it’s implied that it was her decision to quit. But I get what you mean. Nagano’s coach was fired recently. The lack of vision from the clubs in the lower end of the table is sad to see.

 

With only two games left to go in the season I think it is an odd decision, but she may have lost the players. They are last in the league, so it is not ideal.

However, as you point out clubs have to start thinking longer term if they want to have more success. Also, given that there is no relegation clubs really can build a team if they recruit smart and pinpoint areas where they need to improve on and off the pitch. But it takes time.

Elfen have not given her a lot to work with. They have kind of got an okay defence, and they have got Yoshida, Yumura and Miura who are good players and would probably start in any of the bottom eight teams. But that is it. I cannot think of a significant signing last summer.

Elfen's youth team does seem to be improving, so there is hope for them, but they have a lot of work to do. I imagine Yoshida will not be there for much longer as well.

I still think Kumiko Tashiro leaving Nagano is a poor decision, because Nagano have looked good at times this season. But maybe she is leaving to go to Elfen?

I will be curious to see what Regina do with Nakamura, because he has some pretty good players at his disposal and they are not going to get anywhere near third.
