The Indonesian Football Association dismissed the South Korean national team coach, Shin Tae-yong, as announced by its president, Eric Thohir, yesterday, despite his chances of directly qualifying for the 2026 World Cup, revealing that his replacement will be a European, and his identity will be announced next Sunday.
Thohir revealed that the reason for the dismissal was due to recent poor performance and poor communication, while press reports stated that the replacement would be Dutchman Patrick Kluivert.
The Indonesian national team, which recruited a large number of players born in the Netherlands, lost two matches in the third round of the Asian qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.
