Borneo FC recently made the decision to part ways with their head coach, Pieter Huistra. The Dutch coach had been at the helm of the team for just over a year before the club decided to make a change. This decision comes as a surprise to many, especially considering Huistra’s previous success with the team.
Huistra was brought in to Borneo FC in 2020 and quickly made an impact on the team. Under his guidance, the team saw significant improvement in their performance on the field. However, despite his success, the club decided to go in a different direction.
One of the reasons for Huistra’s departure could be his rumored interest in taking over as the head coach of the Indonesian national team. After Shin Tae-yong’s contract with the Indonesian Football Association (PSSI) was not renewed, Huistra’s name was mentioned as a potential replacement. This may have caused some tension within the club and led to his departure.
Huistra’s departure from Borneo FC leaves a void that the club will need to fill quickly. The team will now have to search for a new head coach who can continue the success that Huistra brought to the team.
It will be interesting to see where Pieter Huistra ends up next. With his track record of success in Indonesian football, it is likely that he will have no shortage of suitors. As for Borneo FC, they will have to regroup and move on from the departure of their former coach. Only time will tell what the future holds for both parties.
