Takeshi Okada “Because I am the oldest, I want to do my best not to fall down.”
The B-League today announced a new board structure. Shinji Shimada has been reappointed as the chairman, and new directors and auditors have been appointed.
Shimada Chairman said, “I took over the term of Okawa (Masaaki) Chairman on July 1st last year, and I’ve been here for a year. We welcomed you all. I would like to reform the board of directors so that the B League can move forward again. “
One of the surprise members of the board this time was Takeshi Okada’s appointment as a board member. At the press conference, Chairman Shimada introduced, “Mr. Okada is also running a club in Imabari and is taking on various challenges. He is a famous soccer general who also participated in the World Cup as a representative of Japan.” He talked about the circumstances. “I offered Mr. Okada to help me in terms of training and club management. I would like advice on how to develop strong players who will win in the world.”
Mr. Okada also said, “As a soccer world, I also have something to learn from the basketball world, and I think I can grow. I would love to talk to a chairman in the soccer world, so I accepted it. I’m a long man, so I want to do my best not to fall down. “
