Nils Nielsen's shock exit as Japan coach after leading them to Women's Asian Cup glory was partly down to communication issues and cultural differences, officials and experts said. france24.com/en/live-news/2…

@VinceRugari Even more so in a culture that’s not usually very direct

Pretty brutal comments, don't see that often lol

@tomsan106 Must be more to it, for sure
