Shimizu S-Pulse manager Steve Perryman is to leave the club at the end of the current season.
Perryman, 48, had been offered a new contract by the club, but believes that "it's time for a change." However, the English boss has not ruled out staying in Japan.
"I'm open-minded," he said in an interview on Saturday. "I'll just wait for something to come up. I know I've given value for money here as a coach and manager, but, no disrespect to the players who have been fantastic, I think five years in one place is long enough."
