Finally, it seems that the best members of each team will be available in the Meiji Yasuda Life J League. As the government relaxed restrictions on new immigrants from March 1, it has become possible for new foreign athletes to come to Japan, and the number of announcements of directors and athletes joining has increased.
From those who have already joined the team to those who will join in the future, we will bring together new foreign national coaches and players who will join the J1 league in the 2022 season.
Director Rene Weiler (Kashima Antlers)
At Kashima Antlers, the club’s first European director has finally arrived in Japan. Directed by René Weiler from Switzerland. The club announced their arrival in Japan on March 11th on the official SNS, and is scheduled to join the team from the 15th. If there is no problem, we will take the lead from the match once morest Shonan Bellmare in Section 5 on the 19th.
He has a good track record of promoting Aarau (Switzerland) to the first division and leading RSC Anderlecht (Belgium) Al Ahli (Egypt) to the league title. Will Kashima be able to lead Kashima to the championship by receiving a baton from acting coach Daiki Iwamasa, who has a decent record of 3 wins and 2 losses following finishing 5 league games?

Director Michael Skibbe of Sanfrecce Hiroshima, who has already arrived in Japan on March 1st and took command of the match once morest Vissel Kobe on the 6th. The match ended in a 1-1 draw, but it got off to a good start by catching up with the final stage and launching a more onslaught.
He has served as a director for Borussia Dortmund, Eintracht Frankfurt (Germany), Galatasaray (Turkey) and Greece. He wants to give it back to the Hiroshima team and show them “hot” soccer.
Midfielder David Moberg (Urawa Reds)
David Moberg, a left-handed player with a history of representing Sweden, acquired by Urawa Reds from the prestigious Czech Republic Sparta Prague. He will be the savior of the troubled team.
He got along well with fellow defender Emil Salomonsson, who played in Sanfrecce Hiroshima and Avispa Fukuoka, and got information on the J-League. He came to Japan with his wife and children (March 4th), and it is definitely a familiar environment. He will hold a press conference on the 10th and is likely to join the group early.
