We would like to announce that Zico, our Technical Director, has signed a contract renewal for the 2021 season.
■Comment from Zico, Technical Director
"I am delighted to be able to work at Kashima Antlers for another year. I have pride and eternal love for this club. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the club's establishment, and as one of the people involved in its founding kickoff, I am deeply moved and grateful to the club. We have built a wonderful relationship with the club, and the company is also working with a new operational structure. I hope that we can continue to make our best efforts and move in a good direction. Last season, if we only look at the results, it was not a good outcome, but I believe we learned a lot. It was a really difficult year, but I believe that in 2021, things will turn for the better, Antlers will contend for the championship, and we will be able to win titles. I believe that a new football and philosophy will blossom. Also, I am grateful for the trust that the fans, supporters, and the club have placed in me, and I will make my utmost efforts to ensure that Antlers can continue to be the best in Japan!"
