JAKARTA - The name of a seasoned Dutch coach, Louis van Gaal, has emerged as a candidate to become the coach of the Indonesian national team. This situation emerged after Patrick Kluiver was officially fired by PSSI.
Kluivert and PSSI have officially stopped cooperating since October 16. The reason is the failure of the Garuda Team to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.
So far, PSSI has not announced which prospective coach will replace Kluiver. However, speculation has now emerged by dragging Van Gaal's name.
Speculation emerged following a report that said Van Gaal would hold a press conference on Monday, October 20 local time. The plan to hold this conference coincides with the momentum of the Indonesian national team's need for a new coach to replace Kluiver.

A German journalist, Victor Catalina, is increasingly enlivening this speculation by saying 'Welcome Louis van Gaal' by embedding the Indonesian flag in an upload.
According to Catalina, the idea of presenting Van Gaal was interesting for the Indonesian national team. However, he ensured that the full decision on this matter was in PSSI's hands and there was no official certainty about this.
Previously, this speculation emerged, Van Gaal was rumored to be filling the position of PSSI Technical Director which is now occupied by Alexander Zweirs. The rumors surfaced in early 2025 but evaporated.
