FC Tokyo have confirmed Australian head coach Peter Cklamovski will leave the Japanese club at the end of the J1 League season.
Cklamovski will oversee two more matches in Japan’s top flight before farewelling Tokyo, who are eighth in the standings.
Ange Postecoglou’s former assistant, Cklamovski – known for playing an attacking style of football having rebuilt Montedio Yamagata in the second tier – arrived at the club in June 2023.

The 46-year-old has spent the past six years in Japan, having also coached Shimizu S-Pulse and Montedio Yamagata after teaming up with Postecoglou to win the 2019 J1 League title at Yokohama F.Marinos.
“Thank you for always supporting FC Tokyo,” said Cklamovski, who has worked in the Isuzu UTE A-League via Perth Glory, Adelaide United and Melbourne Victory.
“During the time I spent here with you all, we were unable to win any trophies, but I am certain that the work we all put in has built the foundation for future success.
“I have always felt that your support was special. I hope that in the near future FC Tokyo will become champions and conquer Asia. Thank you to the players who gave their all and fought.
“And thank you to all the staff who supported me so hard. I would like to thank everyone involved with the club for accepting me into the FC Tokyo family.
“Let’s fight together for the remaining two games so that we can all sing ‘The City That Never Sleeps’!
“Thank you Tokyo! The blue and red spirit will always be in my heart!”
