Not only is it rumored to lead a team in Vietnam, Coach Mano Polking is also expected to take over the "hot seat" of the Indonesian national team, replacing Coach Shin Tae Yong, whose contract will last until the end of the year.
PSSI President Erick Thohir said that the information about coach Mano Polking replacing coach Shin Tae Yong is just a trick to cause internal division in Indonesian football (Photo: Bola).
Regarding this information, the President of the Indonesian Football Association (PSSI), Erick Thohir, was very upset. He said that it was a trick of the Thai media to divide Indonesian football in the context of the upcoming 32nd SEA Games.
The head of Indonesian football said: "Those are tricks from Thailand before the SEA Games because they do not want Indonesian football to develop. This negatively affects the negotiation process between us and coach Shin Tae Yong.
As the President of PSSI, I confirm that I do not know this information and have never negotiated with any coach. If Indonesian football rises, it will be very scary for other teams in Southeast Asia. Therefore, they are looking for a way to divide.

If you want to know about this information, ask Thailand. Just like before, when coach Park Hang Seo was rumored to lead the Indonesian team, you need to ask Vietnam. I am no stranger to such divisive tricks before the SEA Games."
According to PSSI executive committee member Arya Sinulingga, President Erick Thohir will meet with coach Shin Tae Yong this week. He will discuss many issues with the Korean coach, including the future of the Korean coach.
Bola newspaper affirmed: "Up to now, the future of coach Shin Tae Yong is still a question mark after the position of PSSI Chairman was transferred from Mr. Mochamad Iriawan to Mr. Erick Thohir in February 2023.
Previously, during his time as PSSI Chairman, Mr. Mochamad Iriawan planned to extend the contract with coach Shin Tae Yong in September 2022. However, after that, Indonesian football experienced many storms that made this deal unable to be completed.
