Japan Football Association president Kuniya Daini will take a voluntary 50 percent pay cut for four months as a show of responsibility for the short-lived reign of scandal-tainted manager Javier Aguirre.
JFA secretary-general Hiromi Hara and technical director Masahiro Shimoda will both take 30 percent pay cuts for the same period, although Shimoda's offer to resign was rejected by the president.
Aguirre was fired six months into the job last Tuesday after a match-fixing case naming the Mexican as a defendant was accepted by a Spanish court. Daini cited the need to avoid the risk of the case having a negative effect on the national team, which begins its 2018 World Cup qualification campaign in June, as the reason for Aguirre's dismissal.
