Peter de Roo arrives in Solo to lead Laskar Sambernyawa

Peter de Roo arrives in Solo to lead Laskar Sambernyawa

Persis Solo has appointed Peter de Roo as their new head coach for the 2025-2026 Liga 1 season — the 55-year-old previously managed Singapore club Balestier Khalsa for three seasons.

Interestingly, de Roo had already set foot in Solo City about a year ago — at that time he was present with Balestier Khalsa to establish cooperation with Nusantara United, now playing in Liga 3.

The meeting held at Hotel Alila Solo resulted in cooperation agreements in:

  • Youth football development
  • Commercial aspects
  • Technical aspects

The Dutch coach admits he didn’t expect to return to Solo this quickly — this time with his new status as head coach of Laskar Sambernyawa.
