Jakarta –
Persija Jakarta officially announced his withdrawal Sergio Farias from the coach seat. Instead, the team management appointed Sudirman.
Farias’ withdrawal from Persija has been caught in the past few days because he has never led team training. In fact, the Brazilian coach arrived in Indonesia since 3 September.
On Thursday (10/9/2020) afternoon WIB, Persija’s official announcement appeared about Farias’ departure. Sudirman, who previously had the status of assistant coach, was appointed as coach to replace Farias.

“The management has officially appointed Sudirman as head coach. This has been discussed very carefully and counts all aspects. Including the experience and closeness of Coach Dirman with Persija players,” said Persija President Mohamad Prapanca in a club release.
Meanwhile, Persija said that breaking the cooperation between the two parties was a mutual agreement. Persija gave up Farias’ departure because the coach was having a family problem.
One of Farias’ children is said to have been exposed to COVID-19, so the former coach Pohang Steelers chose to return to his hometown. Not only did he return home, he chose not to continue his work at Shopee Liga 1 2020.
“We are quite devastated by this news. The management and Farias have agreed high targets this season, but this condition is clearly beyond the expectations of all parties,” said Prapanca.
“On behalf of Persija, we understand and say a prayer so that Farias will remain strong, and hopefully he will be healthy again for his son,” he concluded.
