Eka Ramdani and Boy Jati Resign as PSGC Ciamis Assistant Coaches

Eka Ramdani and Boy Jati Asmara resigned as assistant coaches of PSGC Ciamis on November 5, 2026, following a 6-0 defeat against PSS Sleman in the I.League Cup.

The departures of the two former Persib Bandung midfielders from the 2000s mark the breaking point for a coaching staff struggling through a prolonged winless run across the Championship (Liga 2) and cup competitions. Club CEO Herdiat Sunarya confirmed that management accepted the resignations after a consultation in Ciamis, ending four to five months of service from the pair.

“Saya menyampaikan ucapan terima kasih kepada Pak Eka, kepada Pak Boy Jati Asmara atas dedikasi, perjuangan, kebersamaan untuk sama-sama membangun PSGC agar lebih baik,” said Herdiat Sunarya, CEO PSGC Ciamis, at Galuh Stadium, according to bola.kompas.com.

The coaching shakeup follows a sharp descent in form that saw Laskar Singacala go without a victory, culminating in the heavy defeat at Maguwoharjo Stadium on November 4, 2026. During that stretch, PSGC suffered losses to Persikad, Semen Padang, Adhyaksa Bekasi, Persiraja, and PSMS, while managing only a scoreless draw against PSIS.

Heri Kiswanto Stays on Under Pressure

Head coach Heri Kiswanto retains his position despite the club’s poor run and mounting pressure from supporters demanding immediate improvement. Herdiat attempted to step down following the six-goal loss to PSS, but central management rejected his resignation and ordered the leadership group to stabilize the squad.

Kiswanto must now prepare the team for an upcoming fixture in Pekanbaru without his two primary assistants. To assist through the crisis, technical director Heri Rafni Kotari will travel with the squad as a technical consultant.

GPS Tracking and Winter Transfers Planned

Management outlined a six-week evaluation window leading up to the opening of the transfer market on January 2, 2027. Club officials intend to recruit five new players during the mid-season break.

To evaluate player output objectively, the club deployed Electronic Performance Tracking System GPS vests to monitor metabolic load, running speed, and real-time physical intensity during training sessions.

PSS Sleman Uses Victory as Super League Momentum

On the opposing side, PSS Sleman manager Pieter Huistra viewed the 6-0 cup win as a vital psychological boost ahead of domestic league play. Gustavo Tocantins scored four goals in the fixture, while Indonesian international Dimas Drajad added two goals in his first official start of the season for the Super League side.

“Hasil itu juga dapat menjadi dorongan positif bagi seluruh pemain dan tim dalam mempersiapkan diri menghadapi Super League dalam beberapa pekan mendatang,” said Pieter Huistra, Head Coach of PSS Sleman, as reported by Antara News.

Dimas expressed relief after securing extended playing time after appearing in only four league matches totaling 28 minutes prior to the cup fixture.

“Alhamdulillah saya bisa memberikan kontribusi pada tim di laga ini. Sebagai pemain, saya pasti ikut instruksi dari pelatih.”
