Persija Jakarta New Coach Thomas Doll Wants To Hurry To Indonesia, Persib Bandung Answers Recruiting Japanese Players

Persija Jakarta’s new coach, Thomas Doll, is very enthusiastic about starting his job. The German passport figure wants to immediately command Osvaldo Haay and his friends.

Doll is believed to replace Sudirman, whose term of office was not extended by Persija. The 56-year-old formation interpreter was given a contract for three seasons.

Not only served as the captain of the club. Doll was also appointed as Persija manager, which had been given to someone other than the coach.

“I can’t wait to meet all of you in Jakarta. I’m Persija, I’m the Champion,” said Doll in a video uploaded to Persija’s official Instagram account.

Persija is the first Indonesian and even Asian club to be coached by Doll. So far, his career has been spent gushing European teams, most of which are in Germany.

It is hoped that the arrival of Doll can return Persija to the top of the standings and even win the League 1 title. Last season, the club from the capital city was ranked eighth with 45 points.

Persib answers the arrival of Japanese players

Persib Bandung is looking for Asian players to fill the slot left by Mohammed Rashid. Maung Bandung reportedly intends to land a footballer from Japan.

Using Japanese players is not something new for Persib. A number of names have strengthened Bobotoh’s favorite club, namely Satoshi Otomo, Shohei Matsunaga, and Kenji Adachihara.
