JAKARTA - Indonesia's victory in advancing to the final round of the 2020 AFF Cup could not be separated from the role of the Indonesian National Team Coach Shin Tae-yong. Who he really is?
Shin Tae-yong, who is a man from South Korea, has served as the coach manager of the Indonesian national team since January 2020. When it was just starting, Shin Tae-yong had not faced many matches because the COVID-19 pandemic forced many tournaments to be postponed.

South Korea at that time lost 0-1 to Sweden in the first game and 1-2 to Mexico in the second. In this last match, South Korea beat Germany 2-0 and eliminated Germany from the group stage for the first time in 80 years.

He decided to retire after his specialist told him that his problematic ankle needed surgery. Recovery from the operation takes a long time.

He is considered one of the greatest K League players of all time and was selected for the K League 30th Anniversary Best XI in 2013.
Quoting Kompas, Shin Tae-yong once faced the Indonesian team when he defended the South Korean national team. He faced the Indonesian national team in the 1996 Asian Cup.
