SUZUKI Konomi, Head Coach of U-17/U-20 Northern Mariana Islands National Teams
I have been appointed head coach of the Northern Mariana Islands U-17 and U-20 National Teams. I am extremely honoured to have been given this opportunity and would like to thank JFA, Northern Mariana Islands Football Association (NMIFA), and all those involved in making this dispatch possible. JFA has a long history of dispatching Japanese instructors to the Northern Mariana Islands, and I feel the weight and responsibility of the history built by my predecessors and the people of the Northern Mariana Islands. Together with Mr. Jerry TAN, President of NMIFA, Mr. MITA Michiteru, Technical Director and the Head Coach of the Northern Mariana Islands National Team, other members of the association, and the people of the islands, I would like to make a sincere effort to further develop the football culture in the Northern Mariana Islands.
