“But the fact that STY has contributed significantly to our football world, yes.” We must appreciate that. And we must respect him as someone who has contributed significantly to our football world,” he explained.
“He is a person of great merit, giving beautiful memories to our football world.” That is Shin Tae-yong. “We are grateful to Shin Tae-yong,” Muzani emphasized.
Sack Shin Tae-yong, PSSI Must Pay This Severance Amount
Shin Tae-yong was fired after the Garuda squad suffered disappointing results in the 2024 AFF Cup. Bringing mostly U-22 players, the Indonesian national team only made it to the group stage.
PSSI General Chair Erick Thohir also believes that this decision was made solely for the good of the national team. They also expressed gratitude for Shin Tae-yong’s performance and admitted to having already secured the name of the new coach, who will be officially introduced on January 12, 2025.
“Of course, we thank Coach Shin Tae-yong for his performance so far, our relationship is very good.” We will do our best for the desired programs. “But of course, the dynamics of the national team also need to be given special attention by us in the evaluation,” said Erick Thohir at a press conference at Menara Danareksa, Monday (6/1/2025) morning WIB.
“We have already found the candidate (to replace STY), later we will invite all the media for the next press conference on January 12 at around 4 PM.” So later, if any media colleagues want to have a Q&A with the coach, just go ahead,” he concluded.
