Biography

change

Teguramori was born in Gonohe, Aomori on November 14, 1967. After graduating from Gonohe High School, he joined Japan Soccer League club Sumitomo Metal (later Kashima Antlers) in 1986. The club won the 2nd place in 1987 JSL Cup. In 1993, he moved to NEC Yamagata (later Montedio Yamagata). He retired in 1995.

After his retirement, Teguramori started his coaching career at Montedio Yamagata in 1996. He served as assistant coach until 2000. In 2001, he moved to Oita Trinita and served as physical coach and assistant coach until 2003. In 2004, he moved to J2 League club Vegalta Sendai and became an assistant coach. In 2008, he became a manager for the first time in his career. In 2008 season, Vegalta finished in 3rd place in J2 League. In 2009 season, Vegalta won the league and was promoted to J1 League. Immediately after the opening 2011 season, 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami occurred in Sendai. Vegalta finished in 4th place in 2011. In the 2012 season, Vegalta finished in second place and qualified for 2013 AFC Champions League. He resigned from Vegalta end of the 2013 season because he decided to be the manager of Japan U-23 national team for 2016 Summer Olympics.[1]

In 2014 he became a manager for Japan U-23 national team and an assistant coach for Japan national team. In 2016 AFC U-23 Championship held in Qatar, he managed U-23 Japan to the Asian U-23 tournament for the first time, qualifying to play in the 2016 Summer Olympics as the champions of Asia. In 2016 Summer Olympics, he and his U-23 men obtained four points at the group stage, nonetheless ending up at only the third place behind Nigeria and Colombia in group stage. This was not sufficient for them to qualify to the next stage.

He resigned as an assistant coach for Japan senior team after the 2018 World Cup. In 2019, he signed with J2 League club V-Varen Nagasaki and managed the club for 2 seasons. In 2021, he signed with J1 club Vegalta Sendai. Since leaving Vegalta Sendai he has managed BG Pathum United twice, and Chonburi.
