The 64-year-old Dutchman replaces Montenegrin Miljan Radović at the helm before the domestic season starts on May 15.
Radović’s last match for Persib was their 2018-19 Piala Indonesia 2-1 quarter-finals first-leg defeat to Borneo FC. Alberts' team will face Mario Gomez’s side at home in the return leg on Saturday.
“It's hard for us to announce this, considering the 2019 League will soon be rolling. However, for the mutual benefit and career of Miljan Radovic - who will undergo a UEFA Pro coaching course, we made this decision,” said Persib Bandung on their club website.
“The entire management has expressed its gratitude to Miljan Radovic, who led the Blue Prince for the past four months or so. Especially his success in bringing Persib to the Piala Indonesia quarter-finals.”
Having coached PSM Makassar on two occasions (2010-11 and 2016-19) as well as Arema FC in the 2009-2010 season, the well-travelled Alberts also had several stints across Asia including Malaysian clubs Kedah FA and Sarawak FA as well as Singapore’s Home United and Tanjong Pagar.
