Coaching a host of teams in his native Japan and retiring as a player aged 28,[4] Yoshinori was chosen to manage the Myanmar women's national football team in 2011, leading them at the 2011 AFF Women's Championship.[5]
Leading Myanmar to a 5–0 win over Laos in the opening fixture of the 2013 AFF Women's Championship[6] and guiding them to the semi-final of the tournament, Yoshinori claimed the 2013 Women's AFF Coach of the Year Award.[7] He helped Myanmar qualify for the 2014 Asian Cup through an unbeaten record in the qualifying stage where they conceded zero goals. He cited teamwork to their success.[8]
He submitted a complaint to the Asian Football Confederation for the reportedly poor officiating of Indian referee Maria Rebello in a 2–2 draw with Thailand at the semi-final of the 2013 SEA Games.[9]
He left the post of the coach of Myanmar in December 2019.[10]
