JAKARTA - Shin Tae-yong's fate is in jeopardy. The man from South Korea is in danger of being kicked out of the seat of coach of the Indonesian national team.

Chairman of the Indonesian National Team Task Force (Satgas), Syarif Bastaman, suggested the possibility of the Indonesian Football Association (PSSI) to fire Shin. The coach is still under contract with PSSI.

Syarif admitted that he would evaluate Shin if he did not come to Indonesia. The possibility arises to terminate the coach's contract because he is considered not fulfilling obligations.

Then who will fill the seat of the Indonesian national team coach if Shin Tae-yong leaves? The following is a list of the names:

Indra Sjafri

This one figure is considered the most ideal. The reason is, he has experience training the Indonesian national team in this age group. Only the senior national team that he has not played.

Currently, Indra Sjafri also serves as the Technical Director of PSSI. So, of course he already understands the program and goals that PSSI wants.

Fakhri Husaini

The name of the former PKT Bontang trainer is also on the list of candidates. His success in winning over the Indonesian national team in this age group is proof of his capacity as an excellent coach. However, it is believed that PSSI will find it difficult to persuade Fakhri to return to the Indonesian national team.

He is currently committed to helping the Aceh soccer team for the upcoming PON. In addition, it is not impossible that Fakhri is still disappointed because PSSI chose Shin Tae-yong to handle the U-19 Indonesian national team instead of himself.

Milky Way

The former Persema Malang player is currently the coach of the Indonesian U-16 national team. It is not impossible, the Milky Way will be promoted.

Moreover, he has also had experience handling the senior national team. He was an assistant coach when Luis Milla was head coach.

Luis Milla

This one name is a competitor for Shin Tae-yong in the competition for the seat of the Indonesian national team coach. However, PSSI gave Shin a seat because he dared to guarantee that Indonesia would win the AFF Cup.

Milla could be called PSSI again. Moreover, a number of Indonesian national team fans still hope that the Spanish coach will return to handle Evan Dimas Darmono et al.

Seto Nurdiantoro

This PSIM Yogyakarta trainer was once included in the list of assistant trainer candidates for Shin Tae-yong. However, at that time PSSI chose Indra Sjafri and Nova Arianto.

Seto has no experience training the Indonesian national team. However, his success in training PS Sleman is considered sufficient to prove that the PSIM legend deserves a chance.
