Yes, the Football Association of Indonesia (PSSI) has officially announced the mutual termination of contract with Patrick Kluivert as the head coach of the Indonesian national football team, effective today, October 16, 2025. Kluivert and his entire Dutch coaching staff, including U-23 coach Gerald Vanenburg and U-20 coach Frank Van Kempen, will no longer oversee Indonesia's national teams at any level.
This decision comes after Indonesia failed to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, suffering defeats in their recent World Cup qualifiers against Iraq and Saudi Arabia. The PSSI stated that the separation was made through mutual termination based on an evaluation of the national football coaching and development program.
Kluivert was appointed in January 2025 with a two-year contract. During his time as head coach, Indonesia won three out of eight matches, drew one and lost four. Kluivert's appointment followed the controversial sacking of South Korean coach Shin Tae-yong.
Kluivert had previously managed the Curaçao national team and Adana Demirspor in Turkey, and served as an assistant manager for the Netherlands national team.
