Persib Bandung Honors New Coach Igor Tolic with Special Tifo After 3-1 Debut Win

After a resounding 3-1 victory against PSM Makassar in the opening match of the 2026/2027 season, Persib Bandung fans gave new coach Igor Tolic a special banner that read 'In Igor We Trust'. The massive tifo erected in the eastern stand at Gelora Bandung Lautan Api featured five golden stars symbolizing the club's five national championship titles. The Viking Persib Club, or VPC, prepared it for hours not just to celebrate the result but to express deep trust in this Croatian man. 'We trust Igor' – the words written with fresh flowers and neon lights – served as an official statement that the fanbase's wait was now being fulfilled. In the context of Indonesian football, which always demands stability from new coaches, especially for a club that once ruled over Liga 1, this support was more than a welcome; it was a heavy responsibility placed on Igor Tolic's shoulders from the very first days.
