Jakarta - Persib Bandung legend and former Indonesian national team player Atep said that Indonesian national team coach Patrick Kluivert will have a tough job because he has to shoulder high expectations from the Indonesian people.
Previously, the Dutch coach was assigned to fill the vacant seat following the dismissal of Shin Tae-yong in January.
"What is certain is yes because netizens or our supporters still believe too much in Shin Tae-yong and he has made history for Indonesia...it's not an easy thing in my opinion. Whoever the coach is, it will be difficult," Atep told reporters in Jakarta, Tuesday.
"This will be a pressure of course (for Kluivert) because he must at least have the same quality in terms of play as Shin Tae-yong. Hopefully, he can be better," added Atep.
