Gamba didn’t win any silverware between 2016 and 2018, but Konno remained an important figure in the side, missing just 1 league game in 2016 as Gamba finished 3rd in the final standings. Injury forced him out for a spell in 2017 and he was able to make only 24 league appearances before an even longer spell on the sidelines caused him to miss the majority of the first half of the 2018 season. Gamba struggled under new head coach, the Brazilian Levir Culpi who was fired midway through the season and replaced by Gamba Osaka U-23 coach Tsuneyasu Miyamoto. Miyamoto’s appointment coincided with Konno’s return from injury and a Gamba side that had spent much of the season in the relegation zone went on a 9 match winning streak in the league and eventually ended up in a comfortable 9th place.
