The 1995 success was eclipsed on November 20, 2010, when the club won its first J.League trophy, under the management of Stojković.[2]
The team's name was derived from two prominent symbols of Nagoya. The first is theshachihoko(tiger-headed carp) statues atopNagoya Castle,also calledshachi;this word is a homophone with the Japanese word fororca,a species formerly referred to as "grampus". The second is themaru-hachi(circle-eight), Nagoya's official emblem. The team's mascot is Grampus-kun, an orca.[3]
History
editJapan Soccer League era
editToyota Motor SCwas overshadowed by its colleagueToyota Automated Loom Works SC(founded in 1946 and which was one of the founding members of theJapan Soccer League). When Toyota ALW were relegated to regional leagues in 1968, Toyota Motor saw an opportunity to rise at their expense.[4]
In1972,the club was founding members of the JSL's Second Division and its inaugural champions. They remained in the JSL until the J.League's founding in 1993. They were relegated to the JSL Division 2 in1977.In 1990, the club name was changed to "Nagoya Grampus Eight".
After a brief return in1987–88,they were promoted for good in1989–90and remained in the top flight for 26 years, until2016.
J.League era
editGrampus Eight was an original member ("Original Ten"[a]) of theJ.Leaguein 1993. In 1996, futureArsenalmanagerAr sắc ne Wengerled Grampus to the 1996Emperor's Cupand a runners-up finish in theJ.League,the club's best finish.
The team's name "Nagoya Grampus Eight" was changed to just "Nagoya Grampus"at the start of the 2008 season.[4]In 2008, Nagoya appointed former playerDragan Stojkovićas manager. They finished in third place and qualified for theAFC Champions Leaguefor the first time.[5]Stojković has since led the club to winning the J.League in the 2010 season, featuring a squad consisting ofMarcus Tulio Tanaka,Mu Kanazaki,Seigo Narazaki,Yoshizumi Ogawa,Keiji TamadaandJoshua Kennedy.[2] After a poor2016 season,Grampus were relegated toJ2 Leaguefor the first time in their history.[6]Boško Gjurovskileft his post as manager.[7]On 4 January 2017,Yahiro Kazamawas appointed as the club's new manager.[8]On 3 December 2017, Grampus drew 0–0 againstAvispa Fukuokain the promotion playoff final, securing promotion back toJ1 Leagueat the first time of asking due to their higher regular season position than Avispa Fukuoka.[9] On 23 September 2019,Massimo Ficcadentiwas appointed as the club's new manager. The Italian manager led the club the winner of theJ.League Cupin 2021. However, Grampus didn't renew a contract with Ficcadenti, and appointedKenta Hasegawaas their new manager.
Kashima Soccer Stadium curse
editSince Grampus were dealt a 5–0 defeat by theKashima Antlersat theKashima Soccer Stadiumon 16 May in the1993 J.Leagueseason opener, Grampus suffered a losing streak of 22 consecutive games to theKashima Antlersat theKashima Soccer Stadiumwhich includedEmperor's CupandJ.League Cupgames.
