Frederick Kashimoto (born 14 June 1957) is a Zambian coach and former footballer. A gifted midfielder who won several trophies with Mufulira Wanderers, he also represented Zambia in the 70s and 80s. Upon retirement, he coached several Zambian clubs including Wanderers. ==Playing career== Kashimoto was born in Mufulira where he started his soccer career at Mutende Community Centre with whom he won the Dunlop Cup organised by the Copperbelt Amateur Football Association. His performances attracted the Zambian top league champions Mufulira Wanderers who lured him to Shinde Stadium in 1977.〔Tembo, Benedict. "Kashimoto: former midfield grafter grooming youngsters.” ''Zambia Daily Mail'', 18 February 2012, p. 10〕 Due to the stiff competition in Wanderers’ midfield, Kashimoto was loaned to the Butondo Western Tigers that same year where he impressed and was quickly recalled by Wanderers and he formed a midfield partnership with Zambian international Evans Katebe.〔 Although short of stature, Kashimoto quickly became the fulcrum of Wanderers' midfield, winning a single league title in 1978 and several cup competitions.Picking on the translation of the second part of his name in some languages, he was nicknamed 'Kashi-Fire,' Kashimoto refused to give up his full-time job when Wanderers became one of the four clubs under Zambia Consolidated Copper Mines (ZCCM) that turned professional in January 1990 which put him at odds with the team's management. He therefore quit Wanderers and joined lower division side Kafironda FC as he was able to train with the team after work.〔 Kashimoto was however enticed into coming back to play for Wanderers where he was appointed Assistant player-coach. He turned back the years to help Wanderers win the 1991 Heroes & Unity Cup and the Champion of Champions trophy in 1992. The following year, he quit playing after the Gabon air disaster. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Frederick Kashimoto」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
