Muscat took over from fellow Australian Ange Postecoglou in the summer of 2021 before leading F Marinos to the title in 2022, and his last game in charge will be Wednesday’s AFC Champions League™ meeting with Chinese Super League side Shandong Taishan.
“I would like to thank you for the opportunity to take charge of this special club,” Muscat said in a statement on the F Marinos official website. “This Wednesday will be my last game as a member of the Marinos family.

“Thank you very much for your warm welcome during the two and a half years since I came to Japan. I also want to express my gratitude to the players who expressed what I wanted on the pitch.

“I think their daily efforts and attitude were truly amazing. They exemplified attacking football, racked up points and goals, and played exciting football.
“Lastly, let me say this. The most important thing for any club is the fans and supporters. You can’t imagine how much your support has helped me. We created some unforgettable memories together.

“I feel very sad to leave the Marinos family, but I wish Yokohama F Marinos good health and success.”“Lastly, let me say this. The most important thing for any club is the fans and supporters. You can’t imagine how much your support has helped me. We created some unforgettable memories together.
