The Indonesian Football Association (PSSI) has replaced Shin Tae-yong and is working on the appointment of a coach at an incredible pace.

The Indonesian Football Association officially announced its breakup with Shin Tae-yong on its website on the 6th (Korea Standard Time), saying, `I ended my contract with Shin Tae-yong, who is in charge of the Indonesian national soccer team and the U-23 national team.'

The Indonesian Football Association said 'This decision was made after a long period of careful consideration and evaluation of the performance of the national team and its long-term goals to be achieved in the future. PSSI thanked everyone who contributed to the development of the Indonesian national soccer team and wished Shin Tae-yong the future.

For head coach Shin Tae-yong, it is inevitably a embarrassing decision. Coach Shin began his career in Indonesia in 2020 when he took over as Indonesia's coach. He was highly regarded as a coach who would lead the overall growth of the Indonesian national team by taking charge of the national team by age.

From the beginning, coach Shin's Indonesia has shown a different appearance than before. He finished second at the 2020 Southeast Asian Football Federation (AFF) Suzuki Cup and was fourth at the 2022 AFF Mitsubishi Cup. The Indonesian national team included several naturalized players in the national team to further strengthen their power. Several European players, including those born in the Netherlands and Belgium, joined the Indonesian national team after Shin Tae-yong's appointment.

At the 2023 Asian Cup in Qatar, he garnered more attention by achieving the best performance among Southeast Asian countries. Indonesia lost to Iraq and Japan at the time, but advanced to the round of 16 after catching Vietnam. Unfortunately, they were eliminated in the round of 16 with a 0-4 loss to Australia. Immediately, he showed better performance at the U-23 Qatar Asian Cup. Despite meeting South Korea in the quarterfinals, Indonesia advanced to the semifinals by beating South Korea led by head coach Hwang Sun-hong. Although he ultimately failed to advance to the Olympics, much attention was paid to coach Shin's ability to show his potential.




Since then, he has also renewed his contract. Head coach Shin Tae-yong signed a renewal contract until 2027 in July 2024, and was guaranteed a term until after the 2026 North Korea-China World Cup. In the third Asian qualifying round, he showed the joy of renewing his contract. He beat Saudi Arabia and rose to third place with one win, three draws and two losses in the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North-China World Cup, increasing his chances of advancing to the finals.

In the third qualifying round, the first and second places in each group will go straight to the finals, and the third and fourth places will enter the fourth qualifying round, where six countries will compete again for qualification. Initially, Indonesia's advance to the fourth qualifying round was satisfactory, but he even dreamed of the possibility of going straight to the finals under coach Shin's leadership.

The problem was the changing trend. The Indonesian Football Association's view of coach Shin has changed with the result of elimination from the group stage at the Mitsubishi Cup. After winning the first group match against Myanmar, Indonesia failed to advance to the tournament by losing 3-3 against Laos in the second match, 0-1 against Vietnam, and 0-1 against the Philippines in the final match.




It was a disappointing enough performance, but there was a reason. Coach Shin formed a team mainly with national team players by age because the Mitsubishi Cup was not a mandatory transfer competition. There was no choice but to be different from other teams that played with their elite power.

However, Chairman Eric Tohir shook coach Shin and predicted the replacement. Italy's Tutosport 'Former Inter Milan owner and PSSI president Erik Tohir wants to qualify for the 2026 World Cup finals. Manager Shin Tae-yong, who focuses on physical strength and speed, is no longer satisfied with Indonesia. He is also considering changes on the bench to make a qualitative leap. The new coach could be from Europe, and Shin's position was at stake, and the replacement was immediately decided.

News of the appointment of a new coach also spread quickly. Fabrizio Romano, an expert in the European soccer transfer market, reported that Patric Clawibert will be appointed to the Indonesian national team. Romano added 'Clawebert will be appointed as Indonesia's new manager, and the contract has been signed. It is a 2+2 contract, and the announcement will be made in Indonesia on January 12. The goal is to advance to the World Cup qualifying round.' It was too early news of his appointment. If the contract is completed, it is highly likely that he has already contacted Clawibert before the announcement of Shin's replacement.

Indonesia's Sepakbola is already expected to be the new coach of the Indonesian national team. According to the news, Clawibert is expected to be the most likely candidate to replace Shin Tae-yong.

Despite coach Shin Tae-yong's dedication, Indonesia was already preparing to let him go. Shin Tae-yong, who devoted himself to Indonesia for several years, is expected to feel even more betrayed.
