JAKARTA - After Luis Milla (Spain) and Shin Tae-yong (South Korea), now the name Ruud Gullit appears as a candidate to coach the Indonesian national team. The legend from the Netherlands has been contacted by PSSI.
"We have contacted Ruud Gullit since a week ago. But there has been no response from him," said PSSI Chairman Mochamad Iriawan after watching Indonesia's match against Brunei Darussalam, Tuesday, December 4, evening.
However, the man who is familiarly called Iwan Bule emphasized that PSSI will wait for answers from the former AC Milan player until the end of December.
Gullit was noted to have handled a number of European clubs such as Newcastle United, Feyenoord and LA Galaxy, as well as being an assistant to the Dutch national team coach in 1997.
During his time as a player, Gullit was in the uniform of PSV Eindhoven, AC Milan and Chelsea. He won the 1987 Ballon d'Or award.
Meanwhile, Luis Milla and Shin Tae-Yong met with PSSI and explained their programs if they were selected to be the drafters of the Garuda squad.
PSSI hopes that the national team will have a new coach in early 2020 because the Garuda Team will face Thailand in March 2020 in the Group G match for the 2022 World Cup qualification in the Asian zone.
