Tatsuma Yoshida (吉田 達磨, Yoshida Tatsuma, born 9 June 1974) is a Japanese football manager and former player. He is the current head coach of the Singapore national team.[1]

Playing career[]

Yoshida was born in Chiba Prefecture on June 9, 1974.[2] After graduating from high school, he joined his local club Kashiwa Reysol in 1993. In 1997, he moved to Kyoto Purple Sanga. In 1999, he moved to newly promoted J2 League club, Montedio Yamagata. He became a regular for them, playing as a defensive midfielder. In 2002, he moved to Singapore and played for Jurong in the S-League (now Singapore Premier League). He retired at the end of the 2002 season.

Coaching career[]

Yoshida returned to Reysol in 2003 and spent seven years as director of the club's academy, where he helped to establish it as one of the best in the country. Current Japan international and Marseille star Hiroki Sakai, as well as Reysol goalkeeper Kosuke Nakamura were groomed during his time there. Yoshida spent a further three as Reysol's sports director before succeeding Nelsinho Baptista as head coach for the 2015 season. The following year, he was appointed as head coach of Albirex Niigata.[3] before going on to coach Ventforet Kofu in 2017.[4] Ventforet was relegated to J2 League end of 2017 season and Yoshida was subsequently dismissed in April 2018.

On 30 May 2019, Tatsuma Yoshida was unveiled as the new Singapore national team head coach.[1]
