The Football Association of Indonesia (PSSI) has surprisingly announced the termination of the contract with coach Shin Tae-yong, who was leading the national and U23 teams.

After Indonesia were knocked out at the group stage of the AFF Cup in December 2024, an old video resurfaced in social media posts that falsely claimed it showed the head of the country's football association announcing they were leaving the ASEAN Football Federation.

The Football Association of Indonesia have removed head coach Shin Taeyong, with a new, European, coach set to arrive next week.

Former Netherlands football star Patrick Kluivert was introduced to Indonesian fans on Sunday, after arriving in the country a day earlier to begin his new role as the head coach of Indonesia's national team.

Indonesia sacked coach Shin Tae-yong on Monday with the country's football chief saying the team needed stronger leadership as it battles for a place at the 2026 World Cup.

New Indonesia coach Patrick Kluivert wants to lead his team to the 2026 World Cup finals and is looking for a fast start in his first match in charge against Australia.

Indonesia has dismissed coach Shin Tae-yong as football chief Erick Thohir calls for stronger leadership in pursuit of a World Cup 2026 berth. A new coach will be introduced in January to boost communication and strategies.

In a statement issued on Wednesday afternoon, the PSSI announced that Kluivert will serve as head coach for two years, from 2025 to 2027, with the possibility of an extension.

Shin agreed to take charge of Indonesia in December 2019. It signified a real coup given his credentials, having led his native South Korea at the previous year's World Cup -- where he even masterminded a stunning 2-0 victory over Germany that ended the then-champions' title defence.

He has signed a two-year contract from 2025 to 2027 with an option for an extension as the South-east Asians aim for the World Cup. Read more at straitstimes.com.
