Leading Myanmar to a 5-0 win over Laos in the opening fixture of the 2013 AFF Women's Championship[7] and guiding them to the semi-final of the tournament, Yoshinori claimed the 2013 Women's AFF Coach of the Year Award.[8] He helped Myanmar qualify for the 2014 Asian Cup through an unbeaten record in the qualifying stage where they conceded zero goals.[9] He cited teamwork to their success.[9]
