Japan Football Association chief Kuniya Daini confirmed Saturday that Javier Aguirre will stay on as coach of the national team, a day after the defending champions were knocked out of the Asian Cup in the quarterfinals.
A Valencia court has reportedly accepted a claim filed by Spanish prosecutors accusing Aguirre and 40 other individuals of their involvement in fixing a Spanish League match between his former club Real Zaragoza and Levante in 2011.
But Daini said the JFA has been unable to confirm the reports and as a result, Aguirre will remain in charge.
