According to Indonesian media, the future of coach Shin Tae-yong is still unclear, making Indonesian fans worried. Because if the goal of reaching the quarterfinals of the U.23 Asian Cup in April does not come true, it is likely that the Korean coach will say goodbye to Indonesian football when his contract with PSSI ends in June. According to Indonesian media, if coach Shin Tae-yong does not renew his contract, the national team will suffer many losses.

According to Suara , the Indonesian team will lose a good coach. So far, the squad and playing style built by the Korean strategist have shown many positive signs, specifically helping Indonesia enter the knockout round for the first time at the recent Asian Cup. One point that Indonesian football experts highly appreciate is the ability to change the squad and tactics quite well depending on the opponent.

Second, Coach Shin Tae-yong is known to be close to the players and genuinely cares about Indonesian football. Despite leading the national teams, Shin Tae-yong does not hesitate to instruct the players on how to tie their shoelaces properly, on proper diets, and other small things. The coach himself also expressed his desire to continue leading the Indonesian team.

More importantly, if Shin Tae-yong leaves in June, long-term development projects for the national team will be disrupted. Until now, coach Shin Tae-yong has been determined to build a stronger Indonesian team in the future by relying on young players since his appointment in 2020.

In addition, the naturalized players who were brought in to complete the project that coach Shin Tae-yong is implementing are also bringing many positive signals. Therefore, if the Korean coach does not continue to be associated with PSSI in the near future, the new coach will not necessarily like what Shin Tae-yong is building.
