Coach Shin Tae Yong and his students spent 4 years preparing for the U20 World Cup . However, right before the tournament, FIFA decided to strip Indonesia of the hosting rights. That made the efforts of coach Shin Tae Yong and his students go down the drain.

Speaking to the press, coach Shin Tae Yong admitted to being hurt. It is worth mentioning that his contract with the Indonesian Football Federation (PSSI) only lasts until December 2023. Until then, the Indonesian team will not participate in any tournament. This raises suspicions that PSSI will soon terminate the contract with the Korean strategist.
Today, coach Shin Tae Yong officially spoke about the future. He shared: "I will continue to work in Indonesia at least until the contract with PSSI expires at the end of this year."
Coach Shin Tae Yong revealed that he will meet with PSSI President, Erick Thohir, to discuss the future. The 52-year-old coach added: "In the near future, Mr. Erick Thohir and I will meet to discuss the future."

At present, coach Shin Tae Yong is still working with the Indonesian U20 team. In case Argentina is chosen as the host of the 2023 U20 World Cup, Indonesia's chance to participate in the tournament will end. At that time, the Korean coach will leave the team to focus on leading the Indonesian team (coach Indra Sjafri will lead the Indonesian U22 team to participate in the SEA Games).
Sharing about the upcoming schedule, coach Shin Tae Yong said: "From now until the FIFA Days in June, we will not participate in any matches. I will spend time preparing for the team's next schedule."
