News about Shin Tae-yong being fired, netizens: This is hilarious

Jakarta, Beritasatu.com – The news of the dismissal of Indonesian national team coach Shin Tae-yong was met with disappointment and sadness from netizens who love Indonesian football. Shin Tae-yong’s dismissal was widely discussed after one of the PSSI Exco members, Khairul Anwar, via his Instagram account, posted a farewell greeting to Shin Tae-yong.

“Thank you STY for your togetherness all this time. “We remain a part of the history of the transformation of Indonesian football,” wrote Khairul.

Rumors that Shin Tae-yong would be fired were previously also spread by the Italian media Tuttosport which was written on December 30 2024 with the title “Thohir Wants World Cup: European Coach for Indonesia”.

Tuttosport said coaches from Europe were more suitable in realizing Erick’s mission to make the Indonesian national team global. It is hoped, continued Tuttosport, that this new coach will arrive before the two third round qualifying matches for the 2026 World Cup in the Asian zone against Australia and Bahrain in March.

No wonder the news of this dismissal was greeted with sadness by netizens. “I swear if it’s true (STY) out“PSSI is really unclean,” wrote @meleonnnn.

Brother Kev also expressed the same thing on the @kocorlemper account.

“This is really funny when it comes to STY out just because of the AFF Cup. How blind are you? STY has increased its FIFA ranking from 170 to 130. Increasing 40 rankings is not that easy. Even though there is also a lot of history up to the third round of the 2025 World Cup. We still want to change coaches Again?” he tweeted.

However, so far there has been no official confirmation from PSSI regarding Shin Tae-yong’s dismissal. Some netizens hope that this news is not true.

“Huh… is it true? If it’s true, hopefully PSSI will have it farewell ceremony for Shin Tae-yong. Joining is good, parting is also good. “I still hope he plays U-23 first,” wrote @kamar_agung.
