Urawa fires coach Petrovic
Print Edition
JAPAN’S Urawa Red Diamonds said they have fired coach Mihailo Petrovic after a poor run of form saw the former Asian champions slip to eighth in the J-League standings. The announcement was made on the club’s official website yesterday after the Serbian coach had overseen a disappointing run of form that resulted in Urawa winning only two of its last nine league games. That sequence of results, which continued with a 0-2 defeat against Consadole Sapporo on Saturday, saw Urawa slip to 12 points behind leader Cerezo Osaka. Petrovic took over at Urawa in 2012 and led the club to the J-League Cup last season as well as a runner-up spot in the J-League championship playoffs, where it lost to Kashima Antlers. Despite its poor form in the league, Urawa has qualified for the quarterfinals of this season’s AFC Champions League, where it will meet fellow J-League side Kawasaki Frontale in late August.
