sNorihiro Satsukawa (薩川 了洋, Satsukawa Norihiro; born April 18, 1972) is a Japanese football manager and former football player. He manages Sakai Trinitas in the Kantō Soccer League Division 2.

Playing career

Born in Shizuoka on April 18, 1972, Satsukawa graduated from Shimizu Commercial High School and joined All Nippon Airways (later Yokohama Flügels) in 1991. He played many matches as a center back in his debut season. The club won the 1993 Emperor's Cup, their first major title, and the 1994–95 Asian Cup Winners' Cup, their first Asian title. Financial difficulties led to the club’s dissolution after the 1998 season, during which they won the 1998 Emperor's Cup. Satsukawa played all four matches before the semifinals, but missed the final due to a suspension.

In 1999, he joined Kashiwa Reysol, playing as a left back alongside Hong Myung-bo and Takeshi Watanabe until 2001. The club won the 1999 J.League Cup and finished third in the 1999 and 2000 J1 League seasons. Later, as the club struggled, he shifted to center back. In October 2003, he broke his right leg, sidelining him for 10 months. He returned in August 2004, but Kashiwa Reysol finished last in the 2004 season and faced relegation to the J2 League after the 2005 season, prompting his retirement.

Coaching career

Satsukawa began coaching at Kashiwa Reysol in 2007. In 2008, he joined Regional Leagues club AC Nagano Parceiro as a coach and became manager in 2010. Under his leadership, the club earned promotion to the Japan Football League (JFL) in 2010 and secured second place in 2011 and 2012. In 2013, he moved to JFL club FC Ryukyu, guiding them to promotion to the J3 League in 2014. In 2016, he managed SC Sagamihara in the J3 League but resigned in August. He coached Nara Club in the JFL for two seasons (2017–2018) before joining Banditonce Kakogawa in the Regional Leagues in 2019.
