In 2017, during the club's 84th anniversary, Persib Bandung signed several new players. These included Michael Essien, a former Chelsea player, and Carlton Cole, a former West Ham United player. All parties were aiming Persib reaching high rank in league 1.
At the beginning of the season, performan performance is quite good. Persib was always on the path of competition to the championship ladder. Soon, Persib performance slowly decreased so that defeat after defeat always experienced Persib. Djajang Nurdjaman, as a coach persib always urged to resign from his position due to poor performance experienced Persib Bandung. Djanur had time to apply for his retirement to the management Persib, but rejected. After appealing for a second resignation, Djanur officially resigned on July 16, 2017, after a match between Mitra Kukar against Persib with a score of 1-2 ended in defeat for Persib. Now his position is temporarily replaced by Herrie Setiawan who is an assistant from Djanur.
