According to the Indonesian press, coach Shin Tae-yong's future is still unclear, making Indonesian fans worried. Because if the goal of reaching the quarterfinals of the U.23 Asian Championship in April does not come true, there is a high possibility that the Korean coach will leave Indonesian football when his contract with PSSI ends in June. According to the Indonesian press, if the contract with coach Shin Tae-yong is not renewed, the national team will suffer many losses.
According to the sheet Suara, the island team will lose a good coach. Up to now, the squad and playing style built by the Korean strategist are showing many positive signs, specifically helping Indonesia reach the knockout round for the first time at the recent Asian Cup. One point that Indonesian football experts appreciate coach Shin Tae-yong is that he changes the formation and tactics quite well depending on the opponent.
Second, coach Shin Tae-yong is known to be close to the players and really cares about Indonesian football. Even though he leads national teams, Mr. Shin Tae-yong does not hesitate to instruct players on how to tie shoe laces properly, have a reasonable diet and other little things. This coach himself also expressed his desire to continue leading the Indonesian team.
More importantly, if Mr. Shin Tae-yong leaves in June, long-term development projects for the national team will be interrupted. Up to now, coach Shin Tae-yong is still very determined to build a stronger Indonesian team in the future by relying on young players since his appointment in 6.
In addition, naturalized players were also brought back to complete the project implemented by coach Shin Tae-yong, which is also bringing many positive signs. Therefore, if the Korean coach does not continue to work with PSSI in the near future, the new coach will not necessarily like what Mr. Shin Tae-yong is building.
