Romario Heading to Japan?

Romario hears a call from the Land of the Rising Sun (Reuters)
05/15/2002. Romario may be traveling to Japan soon after all--just not with Scolari's Brazilian World Cup side for the Summer classic. Japanese press is reporting that the international legend is exploring a jump from Vasco da Gama to the J-League.
Part of the allure of the Far East is the potential of working with a club as a player-coach. Another alluring possibility, which seems more conjecture by the press to this point, is the opening of clinics devoted to player development of Japanese youths.
If Romario makes the J-League move, he will follow in the footsteps of other Brazilian heroes such as Zico and Dunga.
