Nagoya Grampus ( Japanese 名古屋 グ ラ ン パ ス , Nagoya Gurampasu ; Nagoya Grampus Eight until 2008 and officially continued ) is a club from Japan's professional football league , the J. League . The club from the industrial city of Nagoya ( prefecture Aichi ) emerged in 1991 from a factory team of the Toyota group and was a member of the J. League from its foundation until 2016, but until 2010 it had hardly any countable successes apart from two imperial cups. In the 2010 season, the club was then champions of the J. League. After relegation to the J2 League in 2016, he was directly promoted again in the 2017 season by participating in the promotion playoffs.
Club history
The name Grampus refers to the team's mascot , the orca , which is often called grampus in English . According to official statements, the term eight derives from the "eight principles of civic life" of the Nagoya City Charter, but other versions are also circulating.
The Toyota Jidōsha Kōgyō Soccer-bu , English Toyota Soccer Club , was founded in 1939 and for some time was considered one of the best teams in the country, but could never win a championship or cup. When the professional league was founded, Toyota, which gave itself the new name Grampus Eight and moved to the provincial capital, then also played the role of solid but ultimately hopeless underdog in the title fight.
This only changed when Nagoya tried to raise the level of the game with the help of foreign experts. Successively the English striker Gary Lineker , the Serbian midfield director Dragan Stojković and the French Arsène Wenger were signed . As early as 1995, in Wenger's first season in Nagoya, he was able to win his first title with the Kaiser Cup ( Sanfrecce Hiroshima was defeated 3-0 in the final), and in 1996 he also took part in the Asian Cup final (defeat against Al Hilal from Saudi Arabia ) the runner-up (behind the Kashima Antlers ) the biggest success of Grampus in the league. Although showered with praise and awards (e.g. coach of the year 1995), Wenger followed Arsenal's call to England, where he had his greatest successes.
After Wenger's departure, Grampus soon sank into insignificance again, but the club achieved a small renaissance in 1999: After the collapse of the Yokohama wing , Nagoya strengthened itself with some wing players and was able to receive another Kaiser Cup (again against Sanfrecce, this time 2: 0).
When Dragan Stojković became a coach in 2008, he put Grampus back on the road to success. In the 2008 season, 3rd place in the J. League was achieved, then the championship was won in 2010 and 2nd place was achieved in 2011. In 2009, the final was reached in the Kaiser Cup , but it was lost to Gamba Osaka. In the AFC Champions League 2009 Grampus was also very successful and was only eliminated in the semifinals; In 2011 and 2012 the last sixteen ended. In the following years Grampus fell back into midfield of the J. League (places 7 to 11), in the national cup competitions you could never get further than the quarter-finals. At the end of the 2016 season, Nagoya was relegated to the J2 League for the first time since the J. League was founded.
Since 1991 the team has been an independent stock corporation, KK Nagoya Grampus Eight , based in Nagoya. Grampus is still closely intertwined with the Toyota group: the car manufacturer is the main sponsor and shareholder of the association, and when there is a special crowd the team occasionally deviates from the local Nagoya-shi Mizuho rikujō-kyōgijō ( 名古屋 市 瑞 穂 陸上 競技場 , "Mizuho -Athletics Stadium of the City of Nagoya “), English Mizuho Athletic Stadium , into the Toyota Stadium with its 45,000 spectator seats.
