Ivica Osim

[Wakarahen]

I was shocked to read today about the illness of Ivica Osim. Apparently he has suffered a serious stroke. I hope he recovers soon.

I think that Osim was doing a great job reviving the Japanese National team after the disappointment of last years World Cup.

Its a terrible blow for both his family and Japan.

Me too, i wish the best to our legendary player/coach but before all a great man.

I heard on TV couple days ago that he got little bit better, but i hope he recovers soon.

former Yokohama F Marinos and Japan National Team coach Okada is expected to take over the Japanese national team; however, it is not known if this is on a caretaker basis, or a contract to the 2010 World Cup
