Persib Prefer Local Coach?

Persib Bandung are looking for a new coach and it is being reported locally that there may be up to 11 names in the frame for one of the hottest seats in the country. Last season they worked their way through three with the first at least alleged to be the victim of player power.

Rahmad Darmawan has been linked with a move to Bandung all close season while Heri Kiswanto and incumbent Daniel Roekito have also been mentioned.

The club manager has suggested a preference for a local coach while also saying they will only sign the best.

So there.

Persib are famous for putting together a good, powerful squad on paper then monumentally failing on the field.
