Enough Is Enough. Huistra Heads Home
Pieter Huistra is ending his time in Indonesia. The Dutch coach who was brought in as a technical director for the national team only to find there was no national team after FIFA banned the PSSI over government interference in football has announced he will return to the Netherlands later this week after ending his contract.
Initially appointed TD towards the end of 2014, he was also coach of the national team for a stint, an odd stint for sure because Indonesia could not play anyone after they had been kicked out of the World Cup Qualifiers by FIFA.
His last coaching role was helping out Pelita Bandung Raya at the Sudirman Cup but they were unable to qualify from the group stages and the Dutch manager, who played for Twente, Rangers and Sanfreece Hiroshima back in the day has decided to return home and look for a new job.
Can't say I blame him. Stick around for what?
