Ronny Pattinasarany

Pattinasarany started his career as a football player when he joined PSM Junior in 1966. Two years later he managed to break through to the senior level in PSM Makassar. From PSM, he left for the Galatama club, Warna Agung from 1978 to 1982. This was where his career started to climb so he was elected to enter and become the national team captain. In 1982, he left for Tunas Inti. After only a year there, he decided to hang up his boots and switch position as a coach.^{[citation needed]}

In the 1970s to 1980s, when Indonesian football was one of the giants in Asia, Pattinasary was one of those who helped make the name of the Red and Whites team famous. He is known as a top player. He received awards such as Asian All Star Player in 1982, Best National Athlete in 1976 and 1981, Best Galatama Player in 1979 and 1980, and won the SEA Games Silver Medal in 1979 and 1981.^{[citation needed]}

There are several Indonesian clubs that he has coached, including Persiba Balikpapan, Krama Yudha Tiga Berlian, Persita Tangerang, Petrokimia Putra, Makassar Utama, Persitara Jakarta Utara and Persija Jakarta. However, the best achievement ever made by Pattinasarany was when he managed Petrokimia Putra when he successfully won several trophies for the club. He led Petrokimia to win the Surya Cup, Petro Cup, and runner-up Tugu Muda Cup.^{[citation needed]}

Towards the end of the 1990s, Pattynasarany, who at that time was predicted to be one of the best coaches in Indonesia, surprisingly said goodbye to the world of Indonesian football, and decided to stop being the coach of Petrokimia Putra Gresik which he was holding at that time, because Ronny wanted to focus on guiding his two children, Benny and Yerry, who at that time were struggling with their addiction to drugs.^[1]

In 2006, to coincide with his 29th wedding anniversary, he and his wife launched a historical book, one of which contains his struggle in guiding his two children, Benny and Yerry, to get out of the trap of drugs.^{[citation needed]}

He was known as the father of futsal in Indonesia because of his dedication to spread the popularity of futsal in Indonesia.^[3] He played an important part in forming the Indonesia national futsal team in 2002 by recommending Sartono Anwar to become the team's first ever head coach among others.^[4]
