Following promotion to J1, the team has continued to struggle, and former manager Daisuke Kimori (樹森 大介) was dismissed, with a plan announced to appoint Naoki Mori (森 直樹) as his replacement. The decision is scheduled to be finalized at 15:00, and he is expected to take charge from the fourth-round Levain Cup match against C Osaka if registration is completed in time.
The club suffered 6 consecutive defeats in the Hundred-Year Vision League. Although the team entered the 26/27 season in good condition from training camp, the club explained that it needed to break out of its current style of play. The decision to appoint Mori as manager was made after discussions between GM Honma and FD Mori.
At the press conference, club president Ko Kojima (小島 耕) called on fans, supporters and local residents to unite behind the club, and said that there would be opportunities to win if the players regained their confidence. He concluded by expressing his determination to fight through the remaining 26 matches while wishing Kimori success.
