Honda says he is preparing Cambodian soccer for the future

It is too bad he doesn't use his expertise and concentrate on helping football here in Japan grow and become better. The up and coming players young kids could use someone like him and so could the minor leagues like JFL or J3.

Key sentence is here:

He already has an attachment to the Southeast Asian country, having launched his soccer academy school there.

Used to like Honda unfortunately the attention from the J-media made

him to be so full of himself. Even at the twilight of his career and more or less a

journey man he still doesn't know he could use some humility.

The guy couldn't help his team progress very far as a player, how's he going to do that as a coach? It's quite easy for even an amateur, on the other hand, to take a team from near zero to a step up. That's why.

Exactly. His arrogance beyond his ability is what ultimately made him unable to be as successful as he could. He felt entitled to everything, without earning it, and railed as his teammates went to Europe, and spat on the Russian team that gave him a chance. Then when he got his way, he was benched in Italy because he was no good, and he complained it was unfair, so naturally his relationship with the coach and team worsened. Of course the defenders pitied him and said it was not his fault, he was being treated unfairly, etc.

Now the guy wants to be in the 2020 Olympics and ruin it for Japan.

Oops! Looks like he lost them their first big game.

Actually it was just a friendly but what would you expect? They are a terrible team to begin with and combine that with a coach that has no coaching experience.
