In a recent interview with Korean media, coach Shin Tae-yong said he might leave the Indonesian team after the 2023 Asian Cup, scheduled to take place in early 2024.

Before this information, many newspapers in the archipelago began to spread information about the candidates for the hot seat of the Indonesian team.

Most recently, sources from Indonesia have included coach Jose Mourinho in the list of potential candidates.

This rumor stems from the close relationship between the President of the Indonesian Football Federation (PSSI) Erick Thohir and the captain of AS Roma.

Not long ago, Coach Mourinho sent birthday wishes to Mr. Erick Thohir and this further increased the confidence of Indonesian fans.

“Hello Erick. Happy birthday. You know, we will never forget you. We know where you are going.

“Wishing you all the best. But most importantly happiness and health. See you soon,” Mourinho sent his wishes through a video.

Besides, the contract between "The Special One" and AS Roma will also expire on June 30.

According to European press, Mourinho will not renew his contract with the Italian team, especially after the defeat in the Europa League final.

However, these sources said that the former Real Madrid coach is said to want to stay in Europe to work instead of going to an Asian country.

Currently, many teams want to have the services of coach Mourinho next season, most notably PSG.
