Liverpool assistant Giovanni van Bronckhorst is considered among the candidates to take over as head coach of the Indonesia national team – five months after joining. Van Bronckhorst was appointed Arne Slot‘s new assistant coach at the beginning of July, filling the role vacated by John Heitinga upon his switch to Ajax.

Why Giovanni van Bronckhorst could take Indonesia job The most recent links emanate from English outlet Football Insider, but there have been ongoing reports of interest in Van Bronckhorst from local sources in Indonesia. At the time, Kluivert, Van Bronckhorst and Louis Van Gaal were suggested as candidates after PSSI chairman Erick Thohir emphasised the importance of a head coach being able to communicate with the players in a common language.

With the PSSI now seeking a new head coach, Van Bronckhorst’s name has returned to the fore, with there even suggestions that Liverpool would not stand in his way if he wanted to take the job. Liverpool could face another frustrating staff reshuffle Liverpool’s move to appoint Van Bronckhorst came as something of a surprise given his experience as a head coach with Feyenoord, Guangzhou R&F, Rangers and Besiktas.
