Bali bola update: U-19 Coach Indra Sjafri signs with Bali United

Speculation about the future of former Indonesia U-19 head coach Indra Sjafri can finally be answered. 

The legendary coach from West Sumatra was just officially signed by Bali United Pusam Football Club, reports Liputan6

This snuffs out rumors of which club will be lucky enough to snag Sjafri in the Indonesia Super League (ISL) next season. 

“We contracted Indra for five years. We chose him because he shares a common vision about the development of young players,” said CEO of Bali United Yabes Tanuri at a press conference yesterday, as quoted by Liputan6. 

Previously, a club from Persela Lamongan, East Java claimed that they had officially signed Sjafri, but that was reportedly later denied by his former foster child Evan Dimas and his colleagues.
