YOKOHAMA (Reuters) - Former England assistant manager Steve Holland will lead his Yokohama F Marinos side into the quarter-finals of the Asian Champions League Elite next month increasingly confident the Japanese club can compete with Saudi Arabia's cash-rich elite.
Holland, who worked as Gareth Southgate's number two for eight years, was appointed by the J-League outfit in December and has had to reconstruct a team that leaked goals last year, first under Harry Kewell and then interim boss John Hutchinson.
