Former Celtic hero Shunsuke Nakamura has landed a coaching role in his homeland.
The ex-Hoops star - who played over 150 times for the Parkhead side - announced his retirement last month at the age of 44 after an illustrious 26-year career. Through out his playing days he scored memorable strikes including his Champions League stunner against Manchester United and a title-clincher against Kilmarnock.
He also featured 98 times for his country, netting 24 goals while he also tasted club football in both Italy and Spain with Reggina and Espanyol. His medal haul includes Scotland's top flight, the Scottish Cup and League Cup in Scotland, the Asian Cup and Japanese Cup. Now he will step into the dugout after his appointment as a 'top team coach' at Yokohama FC - the club he has just called time on his playing career at.
