Erick wants the Director of Technology position to be filled by someone who is intelligent in the field of football. Because later there will be lots of good ideas, and will have a positive impact in the future.
“The more smart people there are in Indonesian football, the better. Because we don’t yet have the right game formula,” added the man who also serves as Minister of BUMN.
Erick himself admitted that he wanted the Director of Technology position to be filled by a German. He did not explain the reason, but until now his party is still looking for the right person.
“I want to come from Germany, but we still haven’t met,” said Erick.
