Interesting news from Japan. The Italian coach Sergio Gargelli, who started this season in the italian third division with Toscana Prato c/5 will try the "Japanese experience", as he was recently appointed as new coach of Fuchu Athletic.

We're talking about one of the most important clubs of the Tokyo area, which wasn't allowed to take part in the first ever edition of the F League due to the sport hall missing criteria, but is one of the best teams in the Kanto League (most important regional league of Japan, together with the Kansai league).

Gargelli will move to Japan with the former Coar Orvieto's japanese player Kohei Shintani (player and coach interpreter at the same time!). Founded in the year 2000, the futsal section of the Fuchu Athletic Football Club is also well known on the national stage, having reached in the past season the final of the 12th All Japan National Championships (click here) losing to TAIYOYAKUHIN/BANFF (current Nagoya Oceans, national champion).

The roster, after the missing participation in the F League, has been almost totally changed and renewed with young players: the Gargelli's task will be given by a global work on first team and youth selections of Fuchu Athletic.
