Urawa Reds manager Maciej Skorza is stepping down at the end of the season after one year at the helm, the J-League first-division club said Tuesday.
The 51-year-old Pole guided Urawa to the Asian Champions League title in May with a 2-1 aggregate final win over Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal and also led his team to a runners-up finish at the J-League Cup this month.
"I made this decision after feeling it was time to change my priorities in life in terms of work and family," Skorza said in a club statement.
Although Urawa are out of the J-League title race, 11 points off the pace with two games to go sitting third, the club have rated Skorza highly after he built a defensively sound side.
