Coaching career

Perspective

Japan

In 1997, Miura became a coach for Brummell Sendai. In October, he managed the club at 1997 Emperor's Cup. In 1998, he signed with Mito HollyHock. From 2000 onwards, he managed J.League clubs Omiya Ardija (2000-2001, 2004–2006), Consadole Sapporo (2007-2008), Vissel Kobe (2009-2010), Ventforet Kofu (2011), and most recently, FC Gifu (2022).

Vietnam

On 10 May 2014, the Vietnam Football Federation appointed Miura as Vietnam national team manager after agreeing to a two-year contract. His first official competition was the 2014 AFF Suzuki Cup, in which he led the team to the semifinal when it was defeated by Malaysia.[1]

On 31 March 2015, Miura became the first manager of Vietnam U-23 national team to qualify for the 2016 AFC U-23 Championship (Note that this is also only the 2nd edition of the tournament. It was held the 1st time in 2013 as AFC U-22 Championships) as the 3rd of the 5 best second-ranked teams in the qualification stage.[2] Despite this early success, he started showing his limitations a year later with some disappointing performances against Thailand during the FIFA World Cup 2018 qualifications or Australia U23 and Jordan U23 during the AFC-U23 Championships. He has been then criticized by local coaches for being too conservative, suggesting that he continually asks his men to play tough, even against countries with players of superior physical shape and strength. His football style was therefore considered not suitable for small size Vietnamese players.[3]
