PSSI is urgently looking for a new Technical Director to replace Mr. Indra Sjafri, who has just been appointed as the coach of the Indonesian U23 team.
Oliver Kahn has just been fired by Bayern Munich
There was an opinion that PSSI would put Akira Nishino, former coach of the Japanese and Thai national teams, in the position of Technical Director.
However, Bola newspaper affirmed that the Japanese strategist is not the target that PSSI is aiming for.
“PSSI is promoting cooperation with the German Football Federation, including asking this partner to help find a good expert to be the Technical Director,” Bola newspaper said.
Notably, the archipelago newspaper revealed that PSSI is targeting former German football star Oliver Kahn.
Not long ago, Oliver Kahn was fired from his position as CEO by Bayern Munich on the day the "Gray Tigers" won the Bundesliga.
"Nothing is certain yet, let's wait," Bola quoted Mr. Arya Sinulingga, member of the PSSI Executive Committee, talking about the information inviting Oliver Kahn.
According to Mr. Arya Sinulingga, the new Technical Director will outline specific and long-term goals and plans for Indonesian football.
Along with that, we will continue to implement the decisions on player naturalization that PSSI has initiated before.
Recently, Indonesia made a move that made the whole of Southeast Asia admire when it invited the Argentine team to play a friendly match on FIFA Day in June.
It is worth mentioning that PSSI is said to have to spend up to 16 million USD (about 376 billion VND) to organize the match with the reigning world champion.
