Yoshiyuki Shinoda (篠田 善之, Shinoda Yoshiyuki), born on June 18, 1971, is a Japanese football player who used to play the game and now works as a manager. He is currently the manager for China League One club Nantong Zhiyun.

Shinoda's Early Football Journey

Yoshiyuki Shinoda was born in Kofu, Japan, on June 18, 1971. After finishing high school, he started his football career in 1990. He joined a club called Kofu SC, which was part of the Japan Soccer League at the time. Even though he stayed with the team for a whole season, he only played in one match.

In 1991, Shinoda went to Chuo University. After he graduated from university, he joined another club in 1995. This club was called Fukuoka Blux, which later changed its name to Avispa Fukuoka. In 1995, his team won the championship. This win helped them move up to the J1 League, which is Japan's top football league, starting in 1996.

Shinoda played many games for Avispa Fukuoka as a defensive midfielder. He was known for his strong play in this position for a long time. In 2001, his club finished in 15th place in the league. This meant they were moved down to the J2 League for the 2002 season. Shinoda continued to play for Fukuoka until the end of the 2004 season. He retired from playing football while the team was still in the J2 League.

Becoming a Football Manager

After he stopped playing, Shinoda began his career as a coach. He started coaching at Avispa Fukuoka in 2005, the same club where he had played for many years. He coached both the main team and the younger players.

In July 2008, Shinoda got his first chance to be the main manager of Avispa Fukuoka. This happened after the previous coach, Pierre Littbarski, left the team. Under Shinoda's leadership, the club finished in 3rd place in the 2010 J2 League. This great result meant the team was promoted back to the J1 League. However, in 2011, the team did not play well, and Shinoda was removed from his role as manager in August.

In 2012, Shinoda joined FC Tokyo as an assistant coach. In July 2016, the manager at FC Tokyo, Hiroshi Jofuku, was removed. This gave Shinoda another chance to be the main manager. But he was removed from this role in September 2017.

In 2018, he moved to Shimizu S-Pulse and became an assistant coach there. The main manager, Jan Jönsson, was removed in May 2019. For the third time since 2005, Shinoda was promoted from assistant coach to the main manager of a club.

On November 30, 2022, Shinoda was signed by Ventforet Kofu, his former club from his playing days. He took over as manager after the previous manager, Yoshida, left. Even though he helped the team win the Emperor's Cup, which was a big surprise, he was removed from his position soon after. This was because the team was not doing well in the J2 League, finishing 18th out of 22 teams. He started managing Ventforet Kofu in the 2023 season, returning to Kofu after 31 years since he left as a player in 1991. He is now the manager of Nantong Zhiyun in China.
