JAKARTA - Persib Bandung midfielder for the Indonesian National Team, Thom Haye, stated that he is ready to be trained by anyone who will fill the vacant seat since the dismissal of Patrick Kluiver.

He admitted that he had read a number of news and rumors of a new candidate for the Indonesian national team coach and stated that whoever was trusted would have no problem remembering his role as a player, namely following the official announcement from the federation, namely PSSI, which has the authority to elect a coach.

"As you know, I read a lot of rumors. For us, we are just waiting for an official announcement about the new coach," Haye told reporters at the Indonesia Arena, Jakarta, Saturday.

"I can't do much about the rumors. We just have to wait for the official statement first, then we start from there," he added.

Since the dismissal of Kluivert on October 16, 2025, the Red and White Squad has yet to get a new captain to look at a number of matches at the FIFA international break.

The latest three PSSI envoys consisting of Technical Director Alexander Zwiers along with two members of the executive committee, namely Muhammad and Endri Erawan, have just arrived in Jakarta after an interview with the PSSI candidate coach.

Later, the names that have been held by the three PSSI delegates will be included in the Exco PSSI meeting which is scheduled to discuss managing the Indonesian national team coach.

In the rumors circulating, there are two names who will widely handle Thom Haye et al, namely Liverpool's current assistant coach Giovanni van Bronckhorst and former Canadian national team coach John Herdman.
