Jakarta, CNNIndonesia —
Deputy Chairman of PSSI Zainudin Amali said Yunus Nusi will remain the secretary general (sekjen) of the federation even though the management has changed.
Yunus became Secretary General of PSSI in 2020 after Ratu Tisha Destria was asked to step down. At that time Yunus was a member of the Executive Committee (Exco) and was forced to resign for the sake of this professional assignment.
The former chairman of the East Kalimantan Provincial Association (Asprov) also ran for vice chairman of PSSI in the 2023 PSSI Extraordinary Congress. He was elected and then resigned.
Because he held a professional position, Yunus did not step aside like Mochamad Iriawan. Yunus currently remains the Secretary General of PSSI until Erick Thohir decides to replace him.
Because Erick has not asked for a replacement Secretary General, Yunus remains at PSSI. Amali also emphasized that Yunus would not be replaced. Yunus is considered competent to fill this crucial position.
“This [sambil menunjuk Yunus Nusi yang berada di sampingnya]. Ask him, how come I still call him Secretary General? Permanent Secretary General. No [diganti]. This is still the Secretary General,” said Amali.
The man who also serves as Menpora said he would meet President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) on Monday (20/2). Amali will report about the PSSI KLB.
The instructions from Indonesia’s number one person will be a guide for Amali in carrying out his duties at PSSI as well as Kemenpora. Whatever Jokowi’s policy, Amali will obey.
“Monday [20/2] I will be accepted Mr. President. Mr. President will accept me and Mr. Erick. I’ll report, I’ve been selected. Whatever the president’s decision is, I will carry it out,” he said.
