JAKARTA - Persebaya Surabaya officially reached an agreement with Paul Munster as their new coach in the remainder of the 2023/2024 Liga 1 season.

Through Persebaya Surabaya's latest upload on social media on Thursday, January 4, 2024, the Bajul Ijo team officially announced cooperation with the coach.

"Welcome, coach Paul Munster. Let's fight together for Persebaya's glory," wrote Persebaya Surabaya accompanying the video.

"He came from Northern Ireland. He is ready to compete in League 1," continued the description in the video.

In the upload, Munster was seen preparing to coach the team by wearing a Persebaya jacket and bag.

From the coach's side, not much has been revealed. Munster only gave a brief statement about his new club.

"Hello, I'm Paul Munster and I'm green now," said former Bhayangkara FC coach.

The upload, which showed the joining of Munster as the tactician for Bajul Ijo, immediately received a positive response from netizens via a sign of like.

In addition, there were more than thousands of comments responding to Munster's presence. The news of Munster's closeness to Persebaya has emerged some time ago.

After separating from Bhayangkara in 2022, Munster was the Technical Director of Brunei Darussalam.

Now, Munster's presence at Persebaya will replace the previous coach, Josep Gombau, who has stepped down two months ago. When the Persebaya coach seat was vacant, the position was handled by caretaker, Uston Nawawi.
