■Comment from GK Coach Furukawa
"I am nothing but grateful to the club for giving me the opportunity to work as a coach at Antlers for six years. I want to thank all the players, staff, and supporters I have worked with. Including my time as a player and a coach, I have been with Antlers for over 15 years, and I consider this place my home. I hope Antlers continues to accumulate titles, reaching 20, 21, and beyond, and leads Japanese football as a big club. Thank you very much."
