Coach Shin Tae-yong will continue to accompany Indonesia.
Eric Tohir of the Indonesian Football Association said on the 29th (Korea Standard Time), "We will continue to fight for Indonesia to head to the world stage. We promise to make efforts to make Indonesia successful on the world stage (with Shin Tae-yong)." The contract period is until 2027.
As a player, Shin Tae-yong has won the K-League championship six times. He also won the K-League Season's Most Valuable Player award and was named the Season's Best Eleven nine times. He also made great achievements as a coach. When he joined Seongnam Ilhwa (currently Seongnam FC) and successfully won the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Champions League (ACL), he was nicknamed "Nan Man" who succeeded both as a player and manager.
He took charge of age-specific teams starting with the coach of the Korean national team, and replaced the ousted coach Uli Stielike to lead the team to the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia, and also took the helm of the team in the finals. He had been away for a while after the World Cup, and led the Indonesian team since 2020.
After Shin Tae-yong took the helm, Indonesia became a different team. It changed Indonesia, which had a strong image of weak players on the outskirts of soccer, and led the team to the second place at the Suzuki Cup and the Asian Cup finals for the first time in 16 years. It was a group with Japan, Iraq and Vietnam in the Asian Cup finals, showing strong enthusiasm for advancing to the round of 16. It was the first time in Indonesia's history.
Coach Shin Tae-yong, who also led the Indonesian national team by age, aimed to advance to the semifinals for the first time in Olympic history by beating the Republic of Korea in the round of 16 teams at the U-23 Asian Cup, but failed after a neck-and-neck race that ended in a playoff between continents. Nevertheless, there was no criticism against Shin. He returned to the A team and successfully qualified for the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North-Central America World Cup. 핑크알바
advancing to the third qualifying round is the first time in Indonesia's history. He is called a "hero" in Indonesia because he has produced achievements while discovering young players and taking care of his future. Shin Tae-yong, who has made a new milestone in Indonesia's soccer, was also mentioned as a candidate for the Korean coach, but has renewed his contract with Indonesia.
Meanwhile, Indonesia was tied to Group C in the third qualifying round and will compete with Japan, Australia, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and China.
