THE Myanmar Football Federation has parted ways with Japanese coach Kurosaki, who served as head coach of the Myanmar U22 national football team, following the squad’s elimination at the group stage of the XXXIII South-East Asia Games.
Kurosaki was appointed by the Myanmar Football Federation in February 2025 on a one-year contract. During his tenure, the Myanmar U22 team competed in the ASEAN U23 Championship, the AFC U23 qualifiers, the SEA Games, and other international friendlies. However, the team failed to record any victories in these competitions, performing poorly in all three major tournaments, which led to the decision to terminate Kurosaki’s contract after the SEA Games. — Maung San Gyi/KZL
