(Reuters) - Javier Aguirre will remain coach of Japan through next month's Asian Cup despite being named in a match-fixing case in Spain.

The Mexican was among 41 people named by Spain's anti-corruption prosecutor, who filed its case in a Valencia court on Monday following a probe into Real Zaragoza's 2-1 win at Levante on the final day of the 2010-11 campaign.
