Kewell made the move from his coaching role at Celtic to managing the Japanese club at New Year. He took over from Kevin Muscat, who was Ange Postecoglou’s successor

Maeda, who previously played for Yokohama before joining Celtic, shared his congratulations on X, formally Twitter. “Great 😭😭 congratulations!! Harry did it ✌️,” Maeda posted.

Yokohama overcame Ulsan Hyundai in a thrilling penalty shootout, winning 5-4 after the two legs ended 3-3 on aggregate. Despite a challenging match that included a comeback, two conceded goals, and a red card, Yokohama showed resilience under Kewell’s guidance.

The decisive penalty was scored by Carlos Eduardo after goalkeeper William Popp’s crucial save against Ulsan’s Kim Min-woo.

The victory sets up a final showdown with Al Ain, promising an exciting climax to the tournament for Yokohama F. Marinos under Harry Kewell’s leadership.

It will be great for Harry Kewell to win something with the club at the first time of asking.
