Celtic winger, Daizen Maeda, has publicly shown his support for his former team, Yokohama F. Marinos, as they surged into the semi-finals of the Asian Champions League. In a touching gesture, Maeda also extended his congratulations to Harry Kewell, the current Yokohama Marinos manager and former Celtic coach.
Maeda, who dazzled Celtic fans with a brilliant hat-trick in Sunday’s Scottish Cup triumph over Livingston, took to social media to share his admiration and support for his old side and former coach. “Congratulations to everyone involved with Marinos! Congratulations Harry!” Maeda wrote, signaling his appreciation for the team’s achievements and Kewell’s successful leadership.

The connection between Maeda and Kewell runs deep, with the pair having shared a fruitful period at Celtic. Maeda’s message of support underscores the respect and admiration he holds for Kewell, who has quickly adapted to his role at Yokohama Marinos and steered the team to impressive heights in the Asian Champions League.
Harry left Celtic earlier this season to manage Yokohama and has quickly endeared himself to the Marinos faithful, replicating the popularity he enjoyed among players and fans during his tenure at Celtic. Kewell’s departure from Celtic was felt by many, but the success he has achieved with Marinos has been a source of pride for those who have followed his coaching journey.
