Month by month review
December 2017 The team has announced Mario Gómez as a new coach. The Argentine coach was appointed to handle Persib in 2018 League 1 season Roberto Carlos Mario Gomez was signed by Persib for two years. Earlier in 2017 Roberto Carlos Mario Gomez was appointed as Malaysian national football team's head coach by FAM president Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim, but he then asked for a higher salary and was therefore rejected as it was expensive.
January 2018 Some players were recruited by the coach, including Eka Ramdani, Oh In-kyun, Bojan Malisic, Airlangga Sutjipto, Victor Igbonefo and the coach recruited players from Persib U-19 which is the second winner of League 1 U-19 namely Muhammad Aqil Savik and Indra Mustafa. In spite of all that, Persib must also be left behind the flagship player who is the top scorer of Persib last season, Raphael Maitimo who decided to strengthen the other contestants of League 1, Madura United. Not only that, Persib also left behind importers from Japan Shohei Matsunaga, Jajang Sukmara which strengthens PSMS Medan, duo young players Angga Febryanto and Ahmad Baasith who strengthen different clubs, namely PS Tira Bantul and Persela Lamongan. Meanwhile, the fate of their strikers Sergio van Dijk and Tantan is still waiting for management's decision regarding their contract.
In their preseason event, Persib decided to follow the annual event of the Presidential Cup which they won in 2015 ago. They are in the "hell" group with other big teams, namely PSM Makassar, Sriwijaya F.C and second winner of League 2 PSMS Medan handled by their former coach, Djajang Nurdjaman. Persib Bandung undergo the first fight against Sriwijaya F.C. as well as the opening match of the 2018 Presidential Cup. Despite their dominant defeat of the visitors, they were able to clinch a 1–0 victory over the visitors.
