JAKARTA - The failure of the Indonesian national team to advance to the 2026 World Cup brought a massive overhaul. The coaching team from senior to U-20 levels was expelled by PSSI.
Apparently, the dismissal did not stop there. Alex Pastoor, a former assistant to Patrick Kluivert, leaked on Rondo's podcast on Monday, October 20, 2025, evening local time, that the important position of PSSI Technical Director and Advisor of the Indonesian National Team was also kicked.
"Jordi Cruyff has been appointed Advisor (Indonesian National Team) and Alexander Zwiers as Technical Director (PSSI). Now everyone has been expelled," said Pastoor as quoted by Voetbal International.

Until now, there has been no official statement from PSSI regarding the dismissal of Jordi Cruyff and Alexander Zwiers.
When releasing the dismissal of the Indonesian national team, the federation did not specify who had to lift the suitcase.
Now, PSSI starts from zero again in designing the construction of Indonesian football which has been predicted since the waves of Dutch coaches arrived.
It is interesting to look forward to how the federation has boasted about building better Indonesian football in the future.
In fact, building the Indonesian national team to qualify for the 2026 World Cup takes no time.
If you're just proud of the naturalization project that's so jorjoran, changing coaches, without a clear road map, it's like before.
Again, the clich expression won. The management, which wants instant achievements, will eventually fail.
