Indonesian soccer fans saw off Shin Tae-yong, the departing coach.
Indonesia's "Watakota Live" said on the 26th (Korea Standard Time), "Indonesian soccer fans saw off Shin Tae-yong, who is on his way home through Sukarno Hatta Airport."
Shin Tae-yong is the best coach in the history of Indonesian soccer. Shin Tae-yong, who took the helm of the Indonesian national soccer team in 2020, also served as the U-23 national team and won the second place in the AFF Championship (2020), the first gold medal (2023), the first bronze medal (2021), the second place in the AFF U-23 Championship (2023) and the fourth place in the AFC U-23 Asian Cup (2024) to boost the Indonesian national team's competitiveness. In addition, he shocked Saudi Arabia by winning 2-0 in the third Asian qualifying match for the FIFA 2026 North-China World Cup.
However, the Indonesian Football Association (PSSI) suddenly announced the dismissal of Shin Tae-yong on June 6. "I have decided to terminate Shin's contract with Indonesia's senior and U-23 teams. This decision is the result of the PSSI and the national team's long-term consideration and evaluation of the team's performance and long-term goals that the national team will achieve," the PSSI officially announced. Shin Jae-won, Shin's son and Seongnam FC player, said, "Let's see how long you can go without Shin Tae-yong. My father gave everything to raise Indonesia to this level. I have a lot to say about how PSSI has treated my father over the past five years, but I will cover it up here."
The Indonesian fans are also expressing their anger over the appointment of Patrick Clowebert as the successor of Shin Tae-yong. He has a humble leadership career compared to his reputation as a player. Clowebert, who took off his soccer shoes since 2008, has experience as a coach with AZ Alkmaar and the Netherlands national team 메이저사이트, but his official coaching experience is all he has to offer as a coach for the Curiaso national team and Adana Demirspor. Compared with Shin Tae-yong, who has experience in the FIFA World Cup, this is not enough.
Coach Shin Tae-yong, who has dramatically improved the level of Indonesian soccer over the past five years, is on his way home with a warm goodbye message from Indonesian soccer fans. "When Shin appeared at Sukarno Hatta Airport, Indonesian soccer fans shouted 'Thank you Shin Tae-yong!'" the media said. Many fans gave him hugs and souvenirs, and asked for his autograph. Most of the fans gathered at the airport escorted him while singing Shin's cheerleading song. Manager Shin also hugged his Indonesian fans and couldn't hold back tears," the media reported.
