After a disappointing 0-1 defeat to U23 Vietnam in the Southeast Asian final, coach Vanenburg revealed that he would not continue to lead the U23 Indonesia team at the 2025 SEA Games. The Dutch coach received great expectations from Indonesian fans in the tournament at home this summer, but could not help "Garuda" win the championship.
As one of the most famous players in Dutch football in his generation, Coach Vanenburg has great confidence from the Indonesian Football Federation (PSSI). In February, PSSI announced the dismissal of Indra Sjafri, who helped them achieve success at the youth level such as winning the U19 Southeast Asian Championship and the 32nd SEA Games.
PSSI then chose Vanenburg, who was then Patrick Kluivert’s assistant at the national team. At that time, Mr. Vanenburg was also scheduled to lead the U22 Indonesia team to the 2025 SEA Games. However, the defeat to U23 Vietnam in the final of the Southeast Asian tournament this summer upset those plans.
Bola said PSSI is likely to invite coach Indra Sjafri to lead U22 Indonesia to the 2025 SEA Games. Mr. Sjafri can be considered one of the most famous coaches with "cool hands" for youth football in Southeast Asia.
He helped Indonesia win many titles with 2 U19 Southeast Asian championships, 1 U22 Southeast Asian championship and 1 gold medal at the 2023 SEA Games. In the context of the national team still "starving" for achievements, Indra Sjafri is the only one who has brought glory to Indonesian football over the years.
