Shin Tae-yong (54), former coach of the Indonesian national team, is expected to take the lead in developing the Liga 1 (Indonesia's first division).
Indonesian media "Tv1 News" reported on the 3rd (Korea Standard Time) that "Coach Shin Tae-yong is expected to accept a proposal other than the technical director of the Indonesian Football Association (PSSI). Persevaya Surabaya has expressed interest in appointing Shin Tae-yong as head coach."
Coach Shin Tae-yong put down the baton in January, holding him accountable for his poor performance. Since then, he has remained in Indonesia without returning to Korea, and is continuing his activities by establishing a foundation for youth development.
Some argued that PSSI would replace Patrick Clowebert and bring in Shin Tae-yong again, but for now, it is close to "fake news." Indonesian media "Indop" said on the 1st, "There were rumors on the social network service (SNS) that Shin Tae-yong would return to the Indonesian head coach."
Indonesian media Comedy magazine reported, "Video clips suggesting Shin Tae-yong will return to Indonesia." One media outlet put up a headline, "Coach Shin Tae-yong's plan to return to Indonesia has been revealed." This is a clear lie. In the video, head coach Shin Tae-yong did not talk about returning to the national team, but explained, "It is true that head coach Shin Tae-yong is still working hard to develop Indonesian soccer."
Multiple local media predicted that Shin Tae-yong could be appointed as PSSI technical director and assist chairman Eric Tohir. However, coach Shin Tae-yong did not express his position, and Persevaya, whose position is at stake, sent a love call. Persevaya, who has emerged as an emerging powerhouse in the Liga 1, is in third place this season, nine points behind the first-place Persib Bandung (16 wins, nine draws and two losses, 57 points) with 14 wins, six draws and seven losses (48 points) in 27 games. 메이저사이트
"We are taking steps to appoint a new coach for the next season. We are not able to explain in detail yet," said Chandra Wijaya. "We will not spare our support (to coach Munster) as much as possible and will decide our future after the end of this season."
Coach Shin Tae-yong, who took over in Indonesia in the winter of 2019, transformed the team, which was considered a weak player in Southeast Asia, into one of the strongest. He made history by ranking second at the ASEAN Football Federation Suzuki Cup (currently the Asian Mitsubishi Electric Cup), advancing to the round of 16 at the 2023 Asian Football Federation (AFC) Qatar Asian Cup, the semifinals of the 2024 AFC U-23 Asian Cup, and advancing to the third Asian qualifying round at the 2026 FIFA North-China World Cup.
Indonesia's change can also be seen in the FIFA rankings. When Shin Tae-yong took office, Indonesia ranked 173rd, but jumped 46 notches to 127th as of December last year. He is the one who directly persuaded Indonesia's core players to naturalize as dual citizens.
