■Comment from the person in question
I will be leaving GAMBA OSAKA at the end of May.
The days I spent at GAMBA OSAKA from 2019 onwards were an irreplaceable time for me.
Working alongside such wonderful players and staff members allowed me to gain a great deal of experience and learn a great deal.
I am truly happy to have been a part of the players' growth through their daily efforts.
Furthermore, I myself was nurtured and greatly developed by the wonderful club GAMBA OSAKA.
I will continue to gain more experience as a coach, grow, and strive to become a valuable asset to GAMBA OSAKA once again.
The experiences and feelings I gained at GAMBA OSAKA will continue to be my assets going forward.
Finally, I am extremely pleased to have witnessed the moment when a new title was written in the history of this club.
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has supported me up until now.
Thank you so much.

I sincerely wish for the continued development and success of GAMBA OSAKA.

Tomoyuki SANO
