Yokohama F. Marinos, a prestigious Japanese J-League, is showing no signs of rebounding.
Yokohama was defeated 0-3 in the 15th round of the J League 1 of the 2025 season at Nissan Stadium in Yokohama, Japan on the 25th. The loss prevented Yokohama from chasing No. 19 Yokohama FC. Yokohama FC lost to Sanprice Hiroshima and was an opportunity to close the gap, but Yokohama remained at the bottom of the league with a crushing defeat.

It was even more painful because it was a crushing defeat in the first game since the new coach took office. Yokohama, which is rarely out of its worst situation this season, is constantly trying to change through a manager change. In December last year, he expected a turnaround by appointing Steve Holland, who experienced Chelsea's head coach and England's head coach, but his performance was sluggish.
Holland left the team after just four months, followed by head coach Kisnovo being promoted to coach, but the situation was the same. Yokohama replaced head coach Kisinovo a month after officially taking office, and again promoted head coach Hideo Oshima. Oshima said, "I will unite the team. Everyone will hold hands together, push each other's backs, and even if they fall into the mud, they will earn three points. Finally, we have no choice but to end the season with a smile for the fans.
However, Yokohama under the Oshima system collapsed greatly from the first game. Yokohama, which lasted 0-0 in the first half, began to falter in the sixth minute of the second half, losing a point to Leon Nozawa. Yokohama, which failed to fight back afterwards, was defeated by allowing additional runs to Kane Sato in the 23rd minute of the second half and Motoki Nagakura in the 39th minute of the second half.

However, the crisis is not the end. Even Jan Mateus, one of the team's aces, is being discussed about the possibility of leaving Yokohama. Lucas Costa, a journalist dedicated to Santos, expressed his interest in Mateus, saying, `Santus is paying attention to Jan Mateus, a Yokohama player.
Matheus joined Yokohama in the last 2022 season and played more than 50 games in both previous seasons, with 10 goals and 10 assists in both seasons. If Mateus leaves, Yokohama's fall is expected to be even more unpredictable.
