Shocking revelations about coach Shin Tae-yong in Indonesia

Notable behind-the-scenes stories related to the Indonesian national team under coach Shin Tae-yong continue to be revealed, in the context that many fans want the Korean strategist to return.

Coach Shin Tae-yong is not popular with Indonesian naturalized players.

According to Bola , ahead of the important match with China in the third qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup, a key player of the Indonesian team expressed his intention to leave the team right before the match took place. This action caused a stir within the Indonesian team.

The reason was that coach Shin Tae-yong's training program, which focused heavily on physical fitness, did not suit the player's wishes. The star was determined to leave the team and refused to change his mind even after being directly persuaded by coach Shin Tae-yong.

But it is unclear who later persuaded this player to avoid a fuss. According to Detik , PSSI officials intervened. What is more remarkable is that this player was still placed in the starting lineup in the match.

This incident has sparked much debate in the Indonesian football community, especially in the context of the archipelago nation's team having just said goodbye to its 2026 World Cup dream.

After PSSI fired coach Kluivert on October 16, Indonesian public opinion recalled the dismissal of coach Shin Tae-yong in January. However, PSSI and President Erick Thohir had almost no choice but to part ways with the Korean coach, because he had conflicts with naturalized players.

President Erick Thohir has admitted that there was a conflict between coach Shin and the players. The Korean coach himself this week also denied rumors related to the possibility of him returning to lead “Garuda”.
