“Both the senior national team managers and also the age group [U-23 Indonesian National Team], including here the manager of the SEA Games National Team,” said this member of the PSSI Executive Committee (Exco).
Furthermore, the position of Manager of the Indonesian National Team was handed over to PSSI General Chair Erick Thohir.This means that Erick will decide who the next manager will be.
One of the reasons Sumardji resigned from the position of Manager of the Indonesian National Team was because he wanted to focus on being Chairman of BTN.According to him, BTN’s duties and hands will be very heavy in the future.
“I will hand over the responsibilities that I have carried out so far to the General Chair so that in relation to the National Team Manager in the future the most appropriate figure can be found.”
“The most sincere and the most responsible, the best for the future. Next I will focus on the national team because in the future it is related to the tasks that must be carried out,” said Sumardji.
Sumardji has filled the post of Manager of the Indonesian National Team since the era of Mochamad Iriawan’s leadership at PSSI in 2019. When Erick leads PSSI in 2023, his position will not change.
Prior to that, Sumardji was also the Manager of the Indonesian U-19 National Team in 2019. He was also the manager of Indonesia U-23 when they won the gold medal at the 2023 SEA Games in Cambodia.
