Early life and education

Justinus Lhaksana was born on 28 July 1967 to an upper-class family in Surabaya, East Java. Both of his parents was born in Samarinda, East Kalimantan. [2] His father is the son of a former KNIL soldier, and he works in the shipping sector, while his mother is of Chinese descent and owns a salon. [3] In 1999, Justin alongside his parents moved to Utrecht, Netherlands due to their discomfort living in Surabaya during the Indonesian New Order period, which was marked by prevalent discrimination against individuals of Chinese descent. [2]

Upon graduating from high school in Utrecht, Justin pursued a degree in political science at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, with a specialization in political communication. [4] While pursuing his studies, he worked part-time as a waiter at a restaurant in Amsterdam. [2]

Coaching career

In 1999, Justin returned back to Indonesia. He started his coaching career in 2003 when he handled the Adjie Massaid Futsal Clinic (AMFC) futsal club. A year later, Justin flew to the Netherlands to take a coaching course so that he managed to get a License from the Royal Dutch Football Association (KNVB). [5]

After obtaining the license, Justin was appointed to handle the Indonesia national futsal team in 2004. [4]

During his time as the national futsal team coach, Justin managed to bring Indonesia to the AFC Futsal Championship in 2005 and 2006. [6] Subsequently, Justin also led Indonesia to achieve the runner-up position in the AFF Futsal Championship in both 2006 and 2008, and securing the third place in 2005 and 2009. [7]

Media career

In 2007, Justin, who was then serving as the head coach of the Indonesia national futsal team, made his television debut as a football commentator on Lativi for the Dutch professional football league, Eredivisie. [8] He remained with the television station, which later rebranded to tvOne in 2008, until 2014, coinciding with the FIFA World Cup. After leaving tvOne, Justin transitioned to NET., where he was involved in the ESPN FC program from 2014 to 2018. [9]

Subsequently, Justin became a commentator for the Premier League on beIN SPORTS from 2018 to 2020. In the same year, he also provided commentary for the Premier League on TVRI, although his tenure there was brief, concluding in 2020 due to the program's discontinuation. [9]

In 2021, Justin participated as a commentator for UEFA Euro 2020 on RCTI, marking his final role as a television commentator. Currently, he is more actively engaged as a football pundit on his personal YouTube channel and collaborates with other presenters and media figures, such as Helmy Yahya and Panji Suryono. [10] Additionally, he has established his own podcast business named Justalk Media which features several channels, including Jeroan Hukum and Lembaga Ngoceh Film (LNF). [11] [12]

Personal life

Growing up in the Netherlands shaped his character in a way that often set him apart from the typical Indonesian society, leading to various controversies, particularly during the UEFA Euro 2020 event in 2021. His forthright and direct personality frequently places him in the spotlight. [13]

Before pursuing his studies and subsequently becoming a futsal coach, Justin aspired to become a police officer. [2] He is married, has a daughter and lives in Jakarta. [14]

Due to the strong emotional connection and the rich football culture experienced during his time in Utrecht, Justin became a devoted supporter of FC Utrecht. He also has a strong admiration for Arsenal and FC Barcelona. [15]
