Wasn't he a national headcoach when he was playing in the A-League?
From Wiki (which I'll assume is accurate): "In August 2018, whilst still a player, Honda was named general manager of Cambodia. Under this arrangement, Honda will hold weekly conference with Cambodia coaching staff, and will be on the touchline when Cambodia's match is in FIFA International match Calendar,"
So not really from how I interpret that...
They also (according to the same article) lost 10-0 and 14-0 (!!!) to Iran in the same period he was their 'general manager'.
