Toshiaki Imai (今井 敏明 Imai Toshiaki, born December 29, 1954) is a former Japanese football player and manager. He is currently the manager of the Mongolia national team.
In November 2005, Imai was appointed by Japan Football Association to coach Chinese Taipei national team and to help the football development in Taiwan. It was his first international assignment. He accepted the challenge and signed a one-year contract with Chinese Taipei Football Association in December. Under his guidance, although the team did not have any amazing performance in international competitions, it was believed that Imai did bring good influence on the team, as well as football activities in Taiwan.
On December 15, 2006, he extended his contract with CTFA.[1] In addition to men's national team, he also led Chinese Taipei women's national team in the 2008 Olympic Games qualification in February, 2007.
In 2008, he returned to Japan and became the manager of Waseda University.
In 2016, he became manager of Chinese Taipei national team again, but was fired on October 11 of that year after complaints of team disunity. http://sports.ltn.com.tw/news/paper/1041149
