Announce Farewell To Gian Zola, Persib Bandung: Hatur Nuhun

JAKARTA – Persib Bandung officially parted ways with Gian Zola Nasrulloh. The 23-year-old will not be part of Maung Bandung again next season.

The completion of the cooperation between the two parties was announced by Persib on their official website on Tuesday, March 5. Zola's contract duration with Persib has expired along with the end of the 2021/2022 Indonesian League 1 season.

"Both parties have agreed not to continue their cooperation for next season," Persib Bandung wrote on their official website.

"Hatur Nuhun, Gian Zola for the professionalism that has been shown so far. His dedication and contribution on the field in the six seasons so far we will not forget," continued Persib.

Zola and Persib worked together for six seasons. The Bandung-born player joined Maung Bandung in 2017, but spent most of his time on loan.

Last season, the Bandung-born player was loaned to Persela Lamongan. This is the second time he has been on loan at the same club after having previously been on loan in 2018.

On two occasions with Persela, Zola was trusted to play 35 times. In details, he played 16 times in 2018 and played 29 times in the competition last season.

Meanwhile, with Persib, Zola appeared in 19 matches. His best performance was in his first season with the Blue Prince squad.

At that time, Zola was trusted to play 14 matches for 627 minutes and contributed one goal. Meanwhile, in his second year, the player from Gedebage only appeared in two games for 22 minutes.

When he returned to Persib in the 2019 League 1, Zola still had minimal playing time. At that time, he played three games in 151 minutes.

Then in the 2020 and 2021 seasons he did not get a match at Persib so he was loaned back to Persela Lamongan.
