YOKOHAMA, Nov. 4 (AP) - (Kyodo)—(EDS: DELETING PART OF 2ND GRAF, OFFICIAL CORRECTION)

Yokohama F Marinos said Wednesday they will fire manager Koji Kimura at the end of the season due to the first division club's lackluster performance.

No one has been named yet to replace the 48-year-old.

Kimura took over from Takashi Kuwahara after 17 games last season and helped guide the team from 16th place to ninth with an 8-4 record, with six draws.

This season, however, Yokohama have struggled to gain points since the beginning of the season and have a 10-9 record with 11 draws and linger in 10th place.
