Urawa Red Diamonds sacked coach Naoki Kusunose.
Last Sunday in quarter-final match, Urawa were eliminated from AFC Champions League by Wuhan Jiangda
(0-0 a.e.t, pso. 5-6).
Urawa dominated throughout the game (24-2 in shots) but were unable to put the ball in their rivals' net.

My understanding is the club's decision was performance-related and, in particular, there was a feeling that making this change would give the team the best-possible chance to qualify for next season's Women's Champions League + fight for trophies. #ManCity #MCWFC www.theguardian.com/football/202...
