JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of the General (Waketum) of the PSSI, Zainudin Amali, revealed the progress of the search for a new coach for the Indonesian National Team. The process was said by Amali to have been completed and only waiting for an announcement.
"So, we have all completed the process (looking for a coach)," said Amali in Jakarta, quoted by Antara on Tuesday, December 30, 2025.
Amali also explained that in the process of selecting the coach for the Indonesian National Team, there was no interference from the PSSI General Chairman, Erick Thohir.
The reason is that Erick stated that he had entrusted the process of selecting a new coach entirely to the PSSI Executive Committee (Exco) and the National Team Agency (BTN).
"This is good, yes, through the PSSI Exco meeting and the Chairman did not interfere. So, the Chairman let us discuss with BTN, then those who were assigned (from the Exco) Mr. Muhammad and Mr. Endri (Erawan)."
"The next time the decision is made, only the Chairman of the General Assembly will lead the meeting. So, it's released. So, the Exco has the freedom to give their views on the coach. I think this is a very good thing," said Amali.
Some time ago, one of the members of the PSSI Executive Committee, Endri Erawan, said that he and several colleagues in the PSSI Executive Committee, such as Muhammad and Technical Director Alexander Zwiers and Technical Advisor Jordi Cruyff, conducted interviews in Europe for the candidates for the Garuda Team coach.
Although he stated that the search process for the coach was complete, Amali still did not reveal when the replacement for Patrick Kluivert would be announced.
"We have handed it over to Mr. Sumardji (Chairman of BTN) to finalize, and later the Chairman will announce it," he said.
