According to multiple Indonesian media reports, Sumarj, Indonesia's national team manager, delivered the reaction of coach Shin, who was notified of his dismissal in an interview on the 6th (Korea time).
Sumarj said "I think it is fortunate that everything went smoothly in the meeting with director Shin. Shin accepted PSSI's decision to terminate the contract. He also thanked PSSI for the trust it has shown so far" he said.
PSSI announced on its official website on the 6th that it has terminated its contract with Shin Tae-yong, the coach of the Indonesian national team and the U-23 national team.
PSSI has carefully considered and evaluated the performance and long-term goals of the national team over a long period of time. PSSI would like to thank everyone who contributed to the development of the Indonesian team. I wish coach Shin Tae-yong the future, he said.
Shin, who took over as Indonesia's coach on January 8, 2020, renewed his contract in April last year to extend the contract period to June 30, 2027. He was dismissed with two and a half years left before the expiration of his contract.
At a press conference held at the Danarexa Tower in Jakarta, Indonesia, PSSI Chairman Eric Tohir said "STY (Shin Tae-yong) received a letter about the end of our relationship." I would like to express my gratitude"It was an inevitable decision for the dynamism of the national team that needs special attention" Chairman Tohir said at the meeting that he had already confirmed Shin's replacement.

"We need leadership to implement strategies that players can accept, to communicate better, and to execute better programs for the national team," Tohir said.
President Tohir's decision made a huge impact on the Indonesian soccer community. In November last year, just 50 days ago, coach Shin made an extraordinary event by winning 2-0 in the third qualifying match for the 2026 North-China World Cup against Saudi Arabia. Indonesia was rushing to third place among the six teams with one win, three draws, two losses and six points in Group C of the third qualifying round for the World Cup.
However, after Indonesia failed to advance to the semifinals at the Southeast Asian Football Championship last month, public opinion arose.
Indonesian journalist Albino Hanafi told sports broadcaster `ESPN'It is difficult to understand this decision because Shin was growing Indonesia"And yet "The Association has full authority over these matters. This gamble can only be evaluated in the future" he said.

After taking the helm of Indonesia, Shin led the AFF Cup runner-up in 2020, the SEA Games bronze in 2021, and the AFF U-23 Cup runner-up in 2023. He beat South Korea to reach the semifinals at the 2024 U-23 Asian Cup, leading Indonesia to its first round of 16 at the Asian Cup and the third qualifying round at the World Cup. In November last year, he won a surprise 2-0 victory over Saudi Arabia in the sixth game of the third World Cup qualifying round. Indonesia, which remained at 173rd place in the FIFA rankings in 2020, ranked 125th in November last year under coach Shin. Currently, it's 127th place.
When Shin Jae-won (Sungnam), the eldest son of coach Shin, heard the news of his dismissal, he posted on his personal SNS, "'How can you say you're dismissed when you're third in the World Cup qualifying round after raising 50 levels of FIFA rankings for five years?" expressed his anger. In addition, in the PSSI SNS comment announcing Shin's replacement, "We'll see how far you guys can go without Shin." My father gave everything he could to get Indonesia to a higher level. There's a lot to be said about how PSSI treated his father for five years, but I'm going to shut up," he wrote.
However, Shin, who enjoyed the leadership's heyday in Indonesia, said through his team manager, `I hope Indonesia will qualify for the World Cup' left the message 'grandfather' in a flash.
