The end of the mission with the samurai; The Cup of Nations separated Morisou from Japan! The one-year postponement of the 2027 AFC Asian Cup changed the Japan Football Association's plan for this team's bench and brought forward Hajima Moriasu's departure. According to the federation's official announcement, Moriasu will step down from the leadership of the Samurai at the end of 2026, and Gu Oiba will replace him from March 2027. Moriasu was supposed to remain on Japan's bench until the end of the Asian Cup of Nations, but with the change in the time of the tournament, that partnership will end sooner. Aviva, who won the Asian Championship with the Japan Under-23 team in 2024, will begin his career with two friendlies in March 2027.
