[Shinzo Koroki Comments
After I made the decision to end my professional career last year, I thought about what I could do and what I should do. As a result, I expressed to the club my desire to become involved in partner sales in order to give back to everyone who helped me during my playing days, and to become involved as an academy coach in order to gain the experience and skills necessary to become the coach I want to be in the future.
I am very grateful that the club respected my decision, and I am truly grateful.

During my partner sales activities, I will gain experience as a businessperson by participating in various events and visiting companies. I would like to further strengthen our ties with existing partner companies, and I would like to make efforts to connect with new partner companies as well.
I also aim to improve my skills as a coach and grow together with the academy players, while passing on all of my soccer skills to the academy players.

I would like to thank all of our fans and supporters, as well as those who have supported Urawa Reds Shinzo Koroki, and I look forward to working with Urawa Reds and Shinzo Koroki in the future.
