Sports coaching and physical education in Japan

Hi,

I am really interested in coaching and physical education in Japan, I would actually love to get a job in this field. I am a certified basketball coach and certified as a physical education teacher in my country.(Romania)

I have never dared to think about working in my profession in Japan but maybe it is not impossible so I would ask the people here about it. Sports ethics in Japan is amazing from what I can see so it would be an ideal place for me.

I am guessing that a requirement would be to speak Japanese fluently. I am not at that level yet but I should be if I go to a language school.

Would foreigners even be considered for those jobs in the first place?

I don't have high hopes and I am also a certified English teacher and I love that job too so I can try to experience Japan that way but it is worth asking about it at least.

Thanks!
