JAKARTA - Former Madura FC coach Rahmad Darmawan has officially joined the Liga 2 club, Rans FC for the 2021-2022 season. Moving to League 2, Rahmad had his own reasons behind his decision to accept The Prestige Phoenix's proposal.

According to RD as he is familiarly called, he does not want to be unemployed for too long in order to continue to hone his training skills. Moreover, this moment is a new challenge for those who are used to coaching the highest caste club.

"I took (the opportunity to train RANS Cilegon FC) because I wanted to continue to hone my (coaching) skills and also didn't want to stay away from coaching for too long," said Rahmad Darmawan to the media, Friday, November 12.

Even though he is relatively new to the coaching chair, RD does not hesitate to set high targets. He even wanted Rans FC to enter the top eight under his care.

"That's right (officially becoming the new coach of RANS Cilegon FC). The process is short and basically we agree. The target is to enter the top eight (League 2 2021-2022)," he continued.

The 54-year-old coach is optimistic about his target, considering that Rans FC is currently in second place in Group B. However, to be able to truly realize the target, Rahmad must also push the team as hard as he can.

Because, the position of RANS FC is not safe because it is far behind the leader of the standings, Dewa United and has the same collection of points as Persekat Tegal. For that, Rans FC must be able to reap the full three points in every match if they want to enter the top eight.
