Playing career

edit

Regional select teams and club career

edit

Ahang was selected to join the South Sulawesi team for the 1988 National Championship (Kejurnas) in Semarang where he was top scorer. His performance led to his first professional contract.[2]

Ahang also became the mainstay of his regional team towards the 1989 National Sports Week in Jakarta. His talent attracted the Kobatama club from Banjarmasin at that time, Bandar Utama. There, he started in the second team.[3]

Unfortunately for Anhang, in 1993, Banjar Utama which was owned by Pak Budi Surya disbanded but Anhang stayed in Banjarmasin.[3]

At the 1993 National Sports Week in Jakarta he played for South Kalimantan.[3] His next team was Daya Sakti. Then, Ahang received an offer from the Kobatama club Panasia Indosyntec. In his first year 1996, Panasia finished as runner-up. The following two seasons, they won the title.[3]

Ahang was with Panasia until 2003. He then moved to Satria Muda Jakarta where he won the 2004 IBL title.[3]

National team

edit

In 1997, Ahang was also included in the Indonesian national team for the 1997 SEA Games in Jakarta, but failed to get a medal. Two years later, Ahang returned to the national team and won the bronze medal at the Brunei 1999 SEA Games.[3]

Coaching career

edit

In 2006 he returned to Bandung, at that time Panasia had changed its name to Garuda Bandung. There he became assistant coach to Kak Amran.[3]

In 2009, Ahang became head coach at Amartha Hangtuah in South Sumatra for the first time, but only for half a season. He later became assistant coach of Stadium Jakarta.[3]

In 2010, he was entrusted with controlling Garuda Bandung. Garuda managed to win the DKI Governor's Cup tournament, and finished 4th place in the regular round.[3]

In 2013 he moved to Pelita Jaya, became an assistant coach for Nath Canson then accompanied Antonius F. Rinaldo until he was finally appointed as head coach of Pelita Jaya and successfully led his team to become IBL 2017 champions.[3]

He led Pelita Jaya to the 2017 IBL Indonesia championship where his team defeated Satria Muda Pertamina 3–1 in the final. This accomplishment was noteworthy as some of the team's best players had recently departed. These players included Andy Batam, Dimas Aryo Dewanto, and Kelly Purwanto.[4]

As an executive, Anhang has stressed the need for a competition level below the IBL. “Players from the Student League still need more flight hours before competing in the IBL. For that, a national competition under the IBL is needed to mature them,” he suggested in December 2017.[3]

In 2019, Winar quit his coaching position as head coach of Pelita Jaya and was replaced by Octaviarro Romely Tamlahitu. Winar became assistant coach of Indonesia's national team, also nicknamed the Indonesian Patriots.[4]

He married Joan Suryana, a player for the Indonesian women's national team.[3]
