Aspiring coach
Indonesian National Team
now narrowed down to two names,
Giovanni van Bronckhorst
and
John Herdman
.Who will PSSI choose?
If compared, the name Van Bronckhorst is clearly bigger than Herdman.As a player, Van Bronckhorst was a combat soldier for Arsenal and Barcelona.
Van Bronckhorst has won a number of prestigious titles, from the Dutch League, English League, Spanish League, to the European Champions League.Every team he plays for always wins a title.

When he hung up his shoes and switched to coaching, this Maluku-blooded man turned out to have cold hands.All the teams he managed, excluding Liverpool, became champions.
Meanwhile Herdman is a nobody.This 50 year old man is just an ordinary player.His football career was not long.However, his love for football brought him to the fore.
A career as a player may be ordinary, but as a coach it is quite fierce.Starting from managing the Canadian women’s national team in 2006, Herdman appeared in the World Cup.
This Englishman is the figure who brought the Canadian national team to qualify and appear in the 2022 World Cup. This shows that Herdman has strong talent as a coach.
Another comparison, Van Bronckhorst does not have a track record of coaching the national team.Throughout his career, this 50 year old man has only managed Dutch, Chinese, Scottish, Turkish and English clubs.
Meanwhile, Herdman has coached the national team from the start, even though it was the women’s team.It could be said that Herdman is more familiar with the national team’s work patterns and programs.
What is no less important, Van Bronckhorst has experience in Asia.Even though he only coached in China for a short time, Arne Slot’s assistant at Liverpool has a horizon for Asian football.
However, for the nominal contract value, Herdman’s price is believed to be more affordable.Even though he has brought Kanda to the 2022 World Cup, his achievements are not like Van Bronckhorst.

The coach who will be chosen to handle the Indonesian National Team starting in 2026 must be prepared for the high pressure from supporters, observers, analysts and also the PSSI football family.
Indonesian football fans no longer want to see a coach whose quality is inferior to that of his assistant, such as the doubts about Patrick Kluivert’s coaching quality compared to Alex Pastoor.
Moreover, the standards inherited from the previous coach are quite high.The coach that PSSI will choose will not start from zero, but will continue the relay.
Currently there are many Indonesian players who are active in Europe, such as Jay Idzes, Kevin Diks, and Calvin Verdonk.Indonesia’s young talents are also developing far.
Because of this, the targets promoted by PSSI, at least until Erick Thohir’s leadership period ends in 2027, must be adjusted.This means that there are two big targets being carried out.
First, the 2026 AFF Cup which will take place in the middle of next year, after the 2026 World Cup. With the composition of the existing players, it feels like winning the 2026 AFF Cup title is very realistic.
Second, of course the 2027 Asian Cup. This event will take place in early 2027. Considering that Indonesia passed the group stage in the previous edition, the same thing could be targeted again.
If these two events can be realized, of course the public’s love will be present.If that happens, it is certain that the hope of longer cooperation to qualify for the 2030 World Cup will also be demanded by the public.
Whoever dares to realize the hopes and hopes of Indonesian National Team fans, winning the 2026 AFF Cup and qualifying for the 2027 Asian Cup group stage, would be worthy of being offered a PSSI contract.
Are Van Bronckhorst and Herdman willing to make this happen?The PSSI envoy who interviewed the two undoubtedly already has the answer.
Now it’s just a matter of how the PSSI Executive Committee Member Meeting (Exco) forum decides.Hopefully there will be no more unilateral decisions from one or two people without involving consensus deliberation.
Appointing a coach for the Indonesian National Team is easy, but not that easy either.There are mechanisms and instincts that must be fought for so that the future of the Indonesian National Team is bright.
