The chairman of the National Team Agency (BTN), Sumardji, said that his agency will conduct a selection process to find a new coach for the Indonesian U-17 national team.
In a press conference at the GBK Arena, Jakarta, Thursday, this was done because the previous coach, Nova Arianto, was promoted to coach the Indonesian U-20 national team.
"We will conduct a selection process for several existing coaches who meet the expected quality standards. Of course, this will all be based on Alexander's report as Technical Director," said Sumardji.
"Next, it will be brought to the PSSI Exco meeting mechanism, after which a decision will be made regarding the U-17 coach," he said.
In selecting the U-17 national team coach, Sumardji said, his team will also seek advice from Nova, who has been quite successful in coaching this team until the 2025 U-17 World Cup.
