Despite the dominance of foreign coaches, local coaches still hold positions. However, unlike previous seasons, Aji Santoso's name is absent from the BRI Liga 1 competition. The four local coaches competing in BRI Liga 1 2024/2025 are Hendri Susilo, Imran Nahumarury, Rahmad Darmawan, and Widodo C. Putro. Imran Nahumarury will attract considerable attention as he leads the newly promoted Malut United, which has made several high-profile signings. Imran is expected not only to devise tactics but also to maintain harmony in the dressing room.

To manage their star-studded squad, Persela Lamongan has appointed Didik Ludiyanto as head coach. Didik is an experienced coach with a deep understanding of the game, having previously served as an assistant coach under various Persela Lamongan coaches, where he absorbed extensive knowledge and skills. This background makes it likely that Persela Lamongan’s promotion aspirations will become a reality. (Bola.net/Dendy Gandakusumah)

Jaimerson Xavier will not be joining Bhayangkara FC in Liga 2. The ex-defender of Persija Jakarta and Persis Solo has opted to join PSBS Biak, which has been promoted to BRI Liga 1 2024/2025. Jaime had been with Bhayangkara FC during pre-season and even scored during a friendly match against PSIS Semarang. Nevertheless, he decided to commit to PSBS for the new season. The 34-year-old player has signed a short-term contract for the season. "Everything is finalized, and he will be joining the team shortly," said Yan Permenas Mandenas, President of PSBS, in a release. Jaime has arrived in Biak to join PSBS and is likely to be available for their match against PSM Makassar on August 16, 2024, at Stadion Kapten I Wayan Dipta, Gianyar. "We want to strengthen our defense, and hopefully, Jaime will complete and bolster our backline," added Yan Mandenas. Jaime becomes the eighth foreign player at PSBS following Alexsandro from Brazil, Abel Arganaraz from Argentina, Gabriel Esparza from Argentina, Williams Lugo from Colombia, Takuya Matsunaga from Japan, Jonata Machado from Brazil, and Julian Velazquez from Argentina. Jaime made his Liga 1 debut in 2018. In his first season, the veteran from Brazil and Portugal leagues led Macan Kemayoran to the championship.

PSBS Biak has recruited many new players, including a 'contingent' of foreign players from Argentina. PSBS Biak is a newly promoted team in BRI Liga 1 2024/2025. The Pacific Storm was promoted after winning Liga 1 in the 2023/2024 season, defeating Semen Padang in the final. PSBS Biak has assembled the best talents from Papua to compete in BRI Liga 1 2024/2025. Jem Kelly Sroyer has been brought in from Persik Kediri. Todd Ferre, Donny Monim, and Yohanes Kandaimu have also been brought back. Among the foreign players, Julian Velazquez, Gabriel Esparza, and Abel Arganaraz will make their debut in Indonesia. They all come from Argentina, like coach Juan Esnaider. PSBS Biak has also revamped their coaching staff. Regi Aditya, who led the Pacific Storm to promotion, cannot continue with the team due to licensing issues. His position is taken over by Juan Esnaider. As a player, Esnaider had a distinguished career. He has represented Juventus and Real Madrid. Additionally, the Argentine also played for Atletico Madrid, Real Zaragoza, and River Plate. As a coach, Esnaider has previously managed Getafe. However, he was not fortunate as he joined Getafe when they were in the lower table and faced relegation from La Liga in the 2015/2016 season. Esnaider will be supported by Robertino Pugliara, who has extensive knowledge of Indonesian and Papuan football. The former Persipura player can serve as a translator and cultural bridge for Esnaider and PSBS Biak.

Individually, Persela Lamongan's players also have high market values. One notable player, Ezechiel Ndouasel, is listed as one of the most valuable players in Liga 2 this season. The Chad international is estimated to have a market value of Rp2.61 billion, making him the highest-valued player in Laskar Joko Tingkir. Other players with significant market values include Wawan Febrianto, Arsyad Yusgiantoro, and several others. With such a star-studded lineup, it's no surprise that Persela Lamongan is considered a strong candidate for promotion. The team also has a solid history in top-tier competitions.

Foreign coaches continue to dominate BRI Liga 1 2024/2025. A total of 14 clubs have employed foreign coaches. Well-known names like Stefano Cugura, Milomir Seslija, and Bernardo Tavares remain in the mix. However, there are also new faces entering the competition. Four foreign coaches making their debut in BRI Liga 1 2024/2025 are Juan Esnaider, Joel Cornelli, Carlos Pena, and Wagner Lopes. Carlos Pena will be under the spotlight as he replaces Thomas Doll, a popular figure among Persija Jakarta fans. If Carlos Pena does not achieve good results early in the season, he will face significant pressure.

Persela Lamongan has been preparing meticulously for the 2024/2025 season. One of the ways the team, known as Laskar Joko Tingkir, has prepared is by recruiting well-known players to boost their squad for Liga 2 2024/2025. During the transfer window leading up to the 2024/2025 season, Persela Lamongan signed several high-profile players, including Samsul Arif, Esteban Vizcarra, Andik Rendika Rama, Risna Prahalabenta, and Hasim Kipuw. They also acquired Ezechiel Ndouasel and recently added one of the best local wingers, Wawan Febrianto. Despite the impressive squad, Persela Lamongan is not yet satisfied. They are rumored to be in negotiations to sign former Indonesian national team star, Andik Vermansah. For a detailed look at Persela Lamongan's current squad, see the full article below.
