Background
The 2017 season was Indra Sjafri's third start to a season as manager of Bali United, having taken charge since the club's founded.[1] Indra resigned in February 2017 before the start of the season because he was appointed as Indonesia national under-19 football team head coach.[2] He was replaced by Hans-Peter Schaller,[3] but only lasted for two games before being sacked due to two losses in a row. Then Widodo Cahyono Putro took charge in May 2017.[4] Under him, Bali United almost won their first title before a controversial ending as Bhayangkara awarded a 3–0 win against Mitra Kukar and an additional three points.[5] Bali United earn an opportunity to compete in the AFC Champions League because Bhayangkara failed to obtain an AFC license to participate in any Asian competitions.[6]
