While the Indonesian Football Association (PSSI) replaced head coach Shin Tae-yong, Shin Jae-won (Sungnam FC), the son of head coach Shin, did not hide his discomfort.

The PSSI announced on Thursday (Korea time) that it will terminate Shin's contract with the Indonesian national team for the A team and the U-23 team. It has been five years since Shin started his career in January 2020.
PSSI explained, "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."

Shin had a bitter taste of being eliminated from the group qualifying round at the 2024 Mitsubishi Electric Cup, which ended recently. As many of the main players were eliminated due to problems with the team's recruitment, he had no choice but to form a team centered on young players to participate in the event.

Shin Jae-won, who plays for Seongnam in the K League 2, strongly criticized PSSI at the news of Shin's replacement. "I can't understand why I am replacing Shin when I ranked third in the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 World Cup by raising the FIFA ranking by 50 notches over the past five years," Shin said on his social network service. "You've done a great job so far," Shin said. "My family knows you did your best for Indonesia."

Shin Jae-won also said in a PSSI post announcing Shin's replacement, "We will see how much we go further without him," and pointed out, "Coach Shin has done everything to raise Indonesia to the level it is now." He left a meaningful message, saying, "I have a lot to say about how PSSI has treated my father over the past five years, but I will endure it."

Indonesian fans are also surprised by the news of Shin's replacement, while thanking him for his dedication.

Leading Indonesia, Shin was the runner-up at the 2020 Mitsubishi Cup and advanced to the semifinals of the 2022 World Cup. At last year's U-23 Asian Cup, he advanced to the semifinals by beating the Republic of Korea. In addition, Shin is ranking third after Japan and Australia in Group C of the third qualifying round for the North-China World Cup. As he is only one point behind Australia, the second-ranked team in the group, there is a chance that he could advance to the World Cup finals for the first time. 먹튀검증
Meanwhile, PSSI is close to appointing Patrick Clowebert, a former Dutch goalscorer, as the successor of Shin. Analysts say that the decision is due to the recent acceptance of a large number of mixed-race players who are active in Dutch leagues.
