Though not losing a match in the first two games played since the first ever F League edition beginning, Nagoya Oceans management headed by Yoshihito Sakurai has fired the brazilian coach Oscar Mazikina (as well as his assistant Ed Carlos) and called on Mario Tateyama, another brazilian trainer and former technical advisor of Nagoya Oceans. The curious thing is that the club announcement came after a clear victory (6-0) over Vasagey Oita.
The real reason for that was given by the huge disappointment of the club after the unexpected 1-1 draw in the league debut against Deucao Kobe. The heavy investments of Nagoya Oceans managers were supposed to determine a clear dominance of the league, something that the first round didn't show. After conquering all regional and national titles (with the previous denomination of Taiyo Yakuhin/Banff) in the past season, Mazikina was asked to conquer the F League as well, but he won't have this chance anymore.
