Continued Competition Still Gray, Captain Persib Supardi Take B License Coaching Course

JAKARTA - Persib Bandung Captain Supardi Nasir took advantage of his spare time when the competition was not yet running by taking a PSSI B License coaching course which took place in Padang from February 8 to 21.

"Yes, study, just study. Hopefully, God will bless the study," Supardi said as quoted by Antara on the club's official website, Thursday.

Supardi also hopes that the knowledge he gets will be useful, both for himself and the world of Indonesian football in the future. Apart from Supardi, several other players who also participated in the program, including Antonio Claudio de Jesus Oliveira.

When the continuation of the competition was still gray, many active players took coaching courses, ranging from license C to license A. This step was taken as an investment in knowledge in the future.

So, if they hang up their shoes as professional players, they can continue their career as a soccer coach.

PSSI Technical Director Indra Sjafri some time ago said that PSSI does have a program that aims to create quality trainers. With so many coaches, the federation believes the quality of football will advance.

"In accordance with the direction of the PSSI Chairman, we are currently focused on creating, adding and improving the quality of reliable coaches in the country," said Indra.

In addition, PSSI also wants to help Indonesian trainers who already have a national coaching license to actively train using their certificates.
