"I accepted the offer about a week ago. I will not lead a team in Southeast Asia anymore," coach Shin Tae-yong confirmed in an interview with Sports Kyunghyang and quoted by TvOne channel on January 30.
Coach Shin Tae-yong
"There are still discussions about extending the contract (with PSSI). Of course, if I leave early, I will have to pay compensation. But for now, I still keep my promise about the possibility of extending the contract with PSSI until June," coach Shin Tae-yong shared.
According to TvOne channel: "If they want to keep coach Shin Tae-yong, PSSI needs to take urgent action to negotiate a contract extension. However, until now, after the Indonesian team's campaign at the 2023 Asian Cup has ended, PSSI President Erick Thohir has not made any specific moves.
After losing 0-4 to Australia in the round of 16 on January 28, Mr. Erick Thohir expressed disappointment, but also encouraged the Indonesian players to make history and coach Shin Tae-yong to partly complete the task. However, in the more distant future, this president requires the Indonesian team to ensure that there are even stronger steps forward.
"These statements may have put pressure on coach Shin Tae-yong, whose contract was only temporarily extended until June 2024. The contract between coach Shin Tae-yong and PSSI expired at the end of 2023, but because the Indonesian national team and the U.23 team are about to participate in the 2023 Asian Cup and the 2024 U.23 Asian Cup, which will last from January to May, this coach was extended to continue leading the two teams. But further, whether or not he will sign a long-term contract with PSSI is still open, so Mr. Shin Tae-yong may have decided to choose a new destination for himself soon," said TvOne channel.
Coach Shin Tae-yong is uncertain about his future with the Indonesian team, so he has chosen a new destination?

"After firing coach Takayuki Nishigaya, FAS is likely to appoint a new coach, Mr. Tsutomu Ogura, 57 years old, also Japanese. Mr. Ogura used to be an assistant coach for the Japanese Olympic team, along with many top clubs in the J League. This will be the third Japanese coach recently appointed by FAS as the national team coach. Previously, coach Tatsuma Yoshida led the Singapore team to great success, but left 1 year earlier than the contract in 2021," said the Straits Times .
