Montedio Yamagata ( Japanese モンテディオ山形 ) is a Japanese football club from Yamagata Prefecture . He currently plays in the J2 League .

Montedio stands for the two combined Italian words Monte ("mountain") and Dio ("God"). Home stadium is the "General Sports Park of Yamagata Prefecture" ( Japanese . 山形県総合運動公園 , Yamagata-Ken Sōgō Undō-Kōen ) in Tendō .

history

The club was founded in 1984 as the NEC Yamagata Soccer Club (Japanese 山形日本電気鶴岡工場サッカー部, Yamagata Nippon Denki Tsuruoka Kōjō Sakkā-Nu ). In 1994 he was promoted to the then second-rate Japan Football League . After the club was renamed Montedio Yamagata in 1996 , he always played second class and since 1999 in the newly founded J. League Division 2 .

Since it was difficult to find a financially strong sponsor in Yamagata Prefecture, the "Association for the Promotion of Sports of the 21st Century in Yamagata Prefecture" (Japanese 形県スポーツ振興 21 世紀協会 , Yamagata-ken Sports Shinkō Nijūisseiki Kyōkai ) was established. Members included individuals, the prefectural government, local businesses and support groups. Most of the clubs of the time were joint stock companies of large corporations, which is why Yamagata was not financially competitive. Many players were loaned out in the rehabilitation phase, which is why the club was often referred to as the "Yamagata Recycling Factory" . Other clubs recruited key players regularly, which also kept their sporting success within limits.

In 2008, for the first time in the club's history, a coach with top division experience took over the club and promptly made it to Division 1 - with five players on loan.

Due to its low budget of 1,050 million yen in 2009 (about half the first division average), Montedio Yamagata was considered by almost all experts as a direct relegation candidate. The season for Montedio started with a 6-2 victory over the multiple champions Júbilo Iwata and ended with a tight class remaining in 15th place. Due to the loss of many regular players, the 2011 class could not be maintained and relegation to Division 2 was inevitable. Despite his good reputation, coach Shinji Kobayashi left the club after 4 years.

At the end of the 2014 season , the promotion playoffs made it possible to jump into the J1 League again , from which Montedion, however, relegated again after only one season.
