Coach Shin Tae-yong announced a temporary break, dispelling rumors about Hanoi FC

Speaking to the Indonesian media yesterday (January 20), coach Shin Tae-yong said: "Currently, I officially end my work in Indonesia. Your love for me is something I will remember forever. Indonesian football fans are extraordinary. I am grateful to all the Indonesian people who have always loved me. As for now, I have not agreed to any invitation from any team. I want to rest for a while."

Coach Shin Tae-yong confirmed that he has not agreed to lead any team, after he left the position of coach of the Indonesian national team.

Immediately after coach Shin Tae-yong was fired from the position of head coach of the Indonesian national team, at least 3 clubs in the archipelago country sent messages wanting to get the signature of the Korean coach. Those 3 clubs are Bali United, Persis and PSIS Semarang. Among them, Persis is a team owned by the president of the Indonesian Football Association (PSSI) Erick Thohir.

Meanwhile in V-League, in the past few days, there has been a rumor that coach Shin Tae-yong might lead Hanoi FC. However, with coach Shin Tae-yong's confirmation to the Indonesian media yesterday, it can be seen that this is just a rumor, there is no story of the Korean coach leading Mr. Hien's team.

Mr. Shin Tae-yong worked for the Indonesian national team for about 5 years. He signed a contract with the Indonesian Football Federation at the end of 2019 and was officially fired on January 6, 2025. Coach Shin Tae-yong's salary during his time leading the Indonesian national team was about 1.5 million USD (about 38 billion VND)/year. The Korean coach was the highest paid person in Southeast Asian football during his tenure in the archipelago country.

Mr. Shin Tae-yong received more than 100 billion VND in compensation.

After being fired by PSSI, coach Shin Tae-yong received compensation of about 70.3 billion rupiah (about 109 billion VND), this amount includes more than 2 years of remaining salary in the contract between Mr. Shin Tae-yong and PSSI (lasting until June 2027), unemployment insurance...

Before being fired by PSSI, coach Shin Tae-yong was proposed to return to lead the Korean national team last year, after the Korea Football Association (KFA) fired coach Jurgen Klinsmann (German). Last year, because coach Shin Tae-yong was still under contract with the Indonesian national team, the KFA turned to invite Korean football legend Hong Myung-bo to be the head coach of the team known as the "Asian tiger".
