HONG KONG (Reuters) - Twenty years after Philippe Troussier was tasked with moulding Japan's footballing future, Hajime Moriyasu takes the reins of Asian's most successful national set-up aiming to continue the country's continental dominance.
Like Troussier before him, Moriyasu has been asked to lead both Japan's Olympic and senior teams as the country builds towards the next World Cup, the first time a coach has been asked to double-up since the Frenchman's departure at the end of the 2002 finals.
