In addition, Shin Tae-yong will also be the first coach to secure a place for the Red and White teams in the 2027 Asian Cup finals without qualifying. This potential also caught the attention of the AFC.
"In second place and one point ahead of Vietnam, Shin Tae-yong has the opportunity to become the first head coach to bring Indonesia to the third round of FIFA World Cup qualifiers in addition to securing a place in the 2027 Saudi Arabian Asian Cup," wrote AFC on its official website quoted Tuesday, June 11, 2024.
Before approaching the road to additional slick notes in sight, Shin Tae-yong has also pocketed a classy label with the Garuda Squad.
Since joining in 2021, Shin Tae-yong has been known as a coach who dares to bring young players. For example, in the 2020 AFF Cup, the senior troops who were brought in at that time were filled by an average player under 25 years of age.
The results are quite positive, the Indonesian national team is able to move on to the final with the composition that the coach has.
Furthermore, Shin also succeeded in giving a surprise at the Asian level. He for the first time managed to bring the Indonesian national team to qualify for the 2023 Asian Cup after almost 16 years of waiting.
Another record record was engraved by the South Korean coach when he was in the 2023 Asian Cup. The reason is, the Indonesian national team was again able to first walk until the last 16 of the 2023 Asian Cup. This clearly shot away from the previously set target, namely only the group phase.
Not to mention the score at the age group level. In the 2024 U-23 Asian Cup, Shin Tae-yong brought the team to the semifinals, history for Garuda Muda.
In fact, at that time Indonesia U-23 made its debut in the U-23 Asian Cup.
