Yokohama F Marinos have parted ways with manager Harry Kewell less than seven months into his role, following a series of inconsistent performances, including a recent loss in the Asian Champions League final. Kewell, with limited managerial experience, took over in December but struggled to meet the high expectations set by his predecessors who led the team to J.League titles. The club, currently 12th in the league, has appointed John Hutchinson as interim head coach. Hutchinson steps in after Kewell's dismissal, aiming to lead the team forward amidst challenges and a recent victory over Kashima Antlers.
