‘Being a player is my passion’: Keisuke Honda targets Singapore Premier League title with FC Jurong
Honda also said that his long-term goal remains to be the head coach of the Japan national team.
Keisuke Honda, the former Japan and AC Milan midfielder, is targeting the Singapore Premier League (SPL) title with FC Jurong. At a press conference on August 22 at Jurong East Stadium, Honda expressed his passion for playing football and aims to win the SPL for FC Jurong. He believes the club's recent inability to beat Lion City Sailors is a reason to bring them to the top.
FC Jurong, previously known as Albirex Niigata Singapore, has won the league six times and finished third last season. Club chairman Daisuke Korenaga stated that Honda's experience, winning mentality, professionalism, and high standards are crucial for the club's success. Honda, a 39-year-old with 98 appearances and 37 goals for Japan, also expressed his desire to become the head coach of the Japan national team in the future.
