Yoshinori Kumada (熊田 喜則, Kumada Yoshinori, born 25 August 1961 in Shirakawa, Fukushima) is a Japanese football coach who is the manager of the Myanmar women's national football team.

Coaching career

[edit]

Coaching a host of teams in his native Japan and retiring as a player aged 28,[3] Yoshinori was chosen to manage the Myanmar women's national football team in 2011, leading them at the 2011 AFF Women's Championship.[2]

Leading Myanmar to a 5–0 win over Laos in the opening fixture of the 2013 AFF Women's Championship[6] and guiding them to the semi-final of the tournament, Yoshinori claimed the 2013 Women's AFF Coach of the Year Award.[7] He helped Myanmar qualify for the 2014 Asian Cup through an unbeaten record in the qualifying stage where they conceded zero goals.[8] He cited teamwork to their success.[8]

He submitted a complaint to the Asian Football Confederation for the reportedly poor officiating of Indian referee Maria Rebello in a 2–2 draw with Thailand at the semi-final of the 2013 SEA Games.[5]

He left the post of the coach of Myanmar in December 2019.[1]
