Van Gaal leads the Indonesian team?

Indonesian media confirmed that the Indonesian Football Federation (PSSI) is close to recruiting coach Louis Van Gaal after firing Patrick Kluivert.

Bola said PSSI reached an important agreement with Van Gaal and his agent, but is still waiting for the final steps of negotiations. In the past, PSSI had invited Van Gaal to be the Technical Director of the Indonesian teams but failed. At that time, PSSI President Erick Thohir contacted the legendary Dutch football coach about the possibility of coming to work in the archipelago.

However, the former MU coach kept his intention to retire with his family. By this time, PSSI seemed to have successfully persuaded Van Gaal to work in Indonesia. Coach Louis van Gaal left the Netherlands team after losing in the penalty shootout against Argentina in the quarter-finals of the 2022 World Cup. The former Manchester United captain announced his retirement at that time.

Before the tournament in Qatar, Van Gaal also decided to retire in 2019, but then agreed to return to lead the Netherlands team when the team was in a coaching crisis. Since then, Van Gaal has not led any team.

After firing Kluivert, PSSI president Thohir emphasized that Indonesian football "will continue its strategy of using football talent from the Netherlands" with a team of naturalized players and world-class coaches from the land of tulips.

During his illustrious career, Van Gaal has led top clubs across Europe, including Ajax, Barcelona, ​​Bayern Munich and Manchester United. At the age of 74, Van Gaal is still expected to be the long-term strategist for Indonesian football.
