Persik Kediri Appoints Malaysian Coach Ong Kim Swee to Lead 2025-26 Liga 1 Campaign
Persik Kediri has officially appointed Malaysian coach Ong Kim Swee as the new head coach for the upcoming 2025-26 Liga 1 season. The decision followed a thorough selection process involving detailed evaluation and interviews by the club's management. His appointment marks a new chapter for the White Tigers, who are aiming to rise from their previous 12th-place finish in the league.
Ong Kim Swee brings considerable experience to the team, having coached Malaysia’s national squads at various levels and recently managing Persis Solo in the 2024-25 season. Under his leadership, Persis managed to avoid relegation, finishing 14th after securing seven wins in 23 matches. His familiarity with Indonesian football and proven leadership in challenging situations played a significant role in his recruitment by Persik.
With a track record that includes both domestic league management and international duties, Ong is expected to inject fresh energy into the Persik Kediri squad. The club hopes his tactical approach and coaching style can improve their consistency and help them compete more effectively in the upcoming season. Expectations are high as the team looks to move beyond mid-table finishes and establish themselves as contenders in Liga 1.
