Japan hires Halilhodzic as new national soccer coach

Why doesn't the JFA hire locally?

Makes no sense whatsoever. What is the long-term plan JFA?

It's ハリルホジッチ officially, but all the newspapers seem to be shortening it to ハリル.

If they hire locally it's harerto fob off blame.

Hidetoshi Nakata's gotta have some free time on his hands these days.
