Apart from Doll, there are a number of Persija players who have had their tenure extended.
Thomnas Doll’s service to Persija Jakarta is getting longer. The Kemayoran Tigers’ management decided to extend the duration of his contract until 2025.
The contract extension was inseparable from Doll’s appearance in managing Persija this season. The man from Germany made the club from the capital look good in League 1 2022/23.
Doll returned Persija to the top of the standings and had become a strong candidate for the championship. This achievement is impressive considering that the 2022/23 League 1 is the first season of Riko Simanjuntak and friends.
“So we will continue to appoint Thomas Doll as head coach until 2025. He is committed to taking us to a higher level in an imperfect situation this season,” said Persija president Mohamad Prapanca.
It wasn’t just Doll who was given a new contract. There are a number of players who have extended the duration of their service with the 2021 Menpora Cup winner.
Captain and mainstay goalkeeper Andritany Ardhiyasa and Riko Simanjuntak are under contract until 2026. Meanwhile, four potential young players, namely Muhammad Ferarri, Firza Andika, Resky Fandi Witriawan, and Dony Tri Pamungkas will serve until 2025.
“Actually there are several players whose contracts have been long with us and we are not announcing them anymore,” said Persija vice president Ganesha Putera.
“Later there will be more players whose contracts will be extended after the competition is over. So far, Persija Jakarta’s squad for next season is 90 percent,” Ganesha added.
