Successful work shadowing at VfB

As part of their course to obtain an S-Licence – the highest coaching badge in Japan – Jiro Hiratsuka (Academy Director of Shonan Bellmare) and Makoto Kita (FC Tokyo U18 head coach) spent last week visiting VfB.

Their focus, during what was a very intensive programme, was on observing the VfB first team’s training sessions. An unforgettable week also included numerous conversations with the team’s coaches, as well as those in the youth academy, in addition to speaking with VfB ambassador and club legend Cacau, who himself spent some time in Japan as a player. To round out an eventful week, the two visiting coaches watched VfB’s thrilling 5-2 win over RB Leipzig.
