Kurniawan described the atmosphere of the interview with Kluiver as taking it easy, but still being serious.

"Interview is more relaxed. Then, there are many questions that are also asked. Not only to me, but other candidates as well," said Kurniawan.
Apart from Kurniawan, Persela Lamongan coach, Zulkifli Syukur, is also known to have undergone an interview with Kluivert.
Although there were many names interviewed, Kurniawan did not really mind who would later be chosen by Kluiver.
He will continue to provide full support to whoever is elected because the most important thing is the progress of the Indonesian national team.
"Whoever we choose will support because it is for the revival of the Indonesian National Team. For the advancement of the Indonesian National Team, of course we will support whoever is elected," said the 48-year-old coach.
