More than a week has passed since he was fired, but Indonesian soccer fans continue to show support for Shin Tae-yong. He is continuing to criticize the Indonesian Football Association (PSSI), which fired Shin day after day.
Indonesian media "VOI" said on the 12th, "When Shin was replaced, Indonesian soccer fans posted as many as 136800 posts with the keywords 'Shin Tae-yong, Shin Tae-yong, and STY (English initials of Shin Tae-yong). On the eve of the official announcement of the dismissal, 245,000 posts were confirmed with the keyword."
PSSI announced on the 6th that it would terminate Shin's contract with the adult national team and the U-23 national team. "The decision was made based on the results of a long-term review and evaluation of the long-term goals that the Indonesian national soccer team should achieve," PSSI explained.
The PSSI did not elaborate, but the failure to advance to the semifinals at the 2024 ASEAN Mitsubishi Electric Cup (Mitsubishi Cup), which recently ended, seems to have been the decisive cause of Shin's replacement.
However, to cite the failure of the Mitsubishi Cup as a reason, Shin's achievements in Indonesia have been so brilliant that he left a regret.
Since Shin was appointed as the head coach of the Indonesian national team in December 2019, he has made remarkable achievements. He was the runner-up at the Mitsubishi Cup in 2020, and advanced to the semifinals at the 2022 event. At the AFC U-23 Asian Cup last year, he defeated South Korea, which was led by Hwang Sun-hong, in the quarterfinals, frustrating South Korea's advance to the Olympics for the 10th consecutive time.
Based on such achievements, PSSI extended Shin's contract through 2027 in June last year. Indonesia is also on the roster of the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North-China World Cup.
Indonesia is currently in third place, one point behind second place in each group, so there is a possibility of advancing to the finals for the first time in history. 토토사이트
Dutch soccer legend Patrick Kluivert is the new coach who replaced Shin and PSSI. However, fans strongly oppose the replacement of Shin even though Kluivert has yet to play a single game.
"The #STYSTAY movement is taking place on the Internet right now. There is a lot of voices from fans who want Shin to come back," VOI said. "In addition, the #ThaanksSTY movement is drawing attention." Indonesian fans are saddened that Shin has been replaced. One fan said, "The news of Shin's replacement is sadder than all the Korean dramas I've seen so far."
