Indonesia's local fans also cannot understand the shock replacement of coach Shin Tae-yong (55).
The Indonesian Football Association (PSSI) announced on its official website on the 6th (Korea Standard Time) that "the Indonesian Football Association has decided to terminate Shin Tae-yong's senior national team and the U-23 national team," adding, "The decision was made based on a long-term review of the team's performance and long-term goals that the team should achieve."
It is a shocking news. Coach Shin Tae-young was the hero of Indonesian soccer. Since Coach Shin Tae-yong took the helm in 2020, Indonesia has emerged as the center of Southeast Asia on the outskirts of soccer. Coach Shin won the runner-up prize at the ASEAN Mitsubishi Electric Cup, the first year of his leadership, and also made it to the quarterfinals at the Asian Cup in Qatar last year.
She also advanced to the semifinals of the U-23 Asian Cup last year. She garnered great attention when she defeated Korea, which was led by Hwang Sun-hong (current coach of Daejeon Hana Citizen), in the quarterfinals at the time.
In addition, Shin Tae-yong also advanced to the third qualifying round for the first time in Indonesian soccer history. His performance is not bad right now. Despite being in Death Group C, Indonesia ranks third in the group with one win, three draws and two losses (six points). It is followed by Japan with 16 points, which leads the group, and Australia with seven points. Indonesia also beat Saudi Arabia, a "Middle East powerhouse."
Tickets for the 2026 World Cup finals in North Korea, China and the U.S. will be given to the first and second place in each group. The third and fourth place finishers can challenge for the dream stage through the fourth preliminary round. Indonesia can also seek to advance to the World Cup. 메이저놀이터
Above all, Indonesia agreed to renew the contract in June last year in recognition of Shin's leadership. Shin's contract period has been extended until 2027. However, Indonesia suddenly replaced Shin.
Indonesian fans also criticized PSSI's decision. Indonesian fans commented, "I don't understand why Shin was fired. Who can explain this exactly?" and "This is the most unbelievable and heartbreaking news of the year." Many thanked Shin.
CNN Indonesia, a local Indonesian media outlet, also noted, "After PSSI announced the mutual dissolution with head coach Shin Tae-yong, the reaction of soccer fans varied," adding, "Many soccer fans admitted that Shin Tae-yong was sad that he was no longer the coach of the Indonesian national team."
Meanwhile, PSSI is expected to appoint "Dutch Legend" Patrick Kluibert as the successor of Shin Tae-yong.
