The Indonesian Football Association, which replaced head coach Shin Tae-yong, will bring a Dutch legend.
The Indonesian Football Association announced Thursday (Korea time) that Shin will be replaced on its official website. "We thank Shin for his progress and support his future," the Indonesian Football Association said. "We have carefully monitored the national team's performance and made the decision."
Shin took the helm of the Indonesian national team from January 2020. Since then, he has produced many achievements. Indonesia won the runner-up prize at the 2020 and 2022 Mitsubishi Cup ASEAN Football Confederation (AFF Cup) and advanced to the semifinals.
At the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup held in Qatar in early 2023, the team beat Vietnam in the group league to advance to the round of 16. At the final Asian qualifying round for the 2026 FIFA North-China World Cup, the team was poised to advance to the finals as the third place.
However, Shin suffered a slump in the AFF Cup this time. Shin formed a squad of national teams by age and participated in the AFF Cup, and was eliminated from the group league. Criticism against Shin escalated, and the Indonesian Football Association decided to dismiss him.
The Indonesian Football Association, which ousted coach Shin, will leave the baton to the Dutch legend. European soccer transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano said Tuesday that Patrick Clawibert will be appointed as the new Indonesian coach.
"The contract has been signed. The contract period is 2+2 years and the announcement will be made in Indonesia on January 12. The Indonesian Football Association's goal is to advance to the World Cup finals," he added.
Clawibert is a Dutch legend. He spent his prime time with Ajax and Barcelona, and retired from active duty in 2008 to become a leader. Clawibert led the Netherlands to the semifinals of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. 먹튀검증
Afterwards, he experienced coaching the adult team as an acting coach for the Curiaso national team, and was appointed as the manager for Adana Demirspor. Clawibert signed a two-year contract but terminated the contract under mutual agreement six months later, and is set to take on a new challenge in Indonesia.
The Indonesian Football Association will also give Louis van Gaal the role of sports director. "Clawebert will be the new coach of the Indonesian national team and van Gaal will be the sports director," Spain's Marca reported. "Clawebert and van Gaal will reunite in Indonesia."
Van Gaal has coached major clubs including Ajax, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and Manchester United. He also ranked third in the 2014 Brazil World Cup with Clawibert as his chief coach for the Dutch national team. Since then, he has been Ajax's advisor since 2023.
