KUALA LUMPUR: Former Sabah FC manager Datuk Ong Kim Swee has been unveiled as the new head coach for struggling Indonesian Liga 1 club Persis Solo.
Persis Solo announced the appointment of Kim Swee, 53, in a Facebook post, confirming he would take over from Muhammad Hanafing.
"I see this as an opportunity with a highly ambitious club, and I join Persis to align everyone with the same objective," Kim Swee said.
Persis Solo, who are third from the bottom in the league, have collected just 7 points from 11 matches.
Last week, Kim Swee, the former Harimau Malaya head coach, announced his departure from Sabah FC after three successful years.
He later confirmed he was considering several offers, both domestic and international.
