Shin Tae-yong’s mission if he returns: To support Indonesia’s U17 team at the World Cup

Indonesian football fans are completely justified in wanting Shin Tae-yong to come back. The former head coach of South Korea’s 2018 World Cup team has laid a solid foundation for the progress of Indonesian football in recent years.

The movement urging Shin Tae-yong to return as "Garuda" coach is growing stronger. Many believe the Korean tactician deserves to replace Patrick Kluivert, who is considered to have failed by not securing Indonesia’s qualification for the 2026 World Cup.

Although he has not yet won any international trophies, Shin Tae-yong has helped Indonesia’s national team rise to prominence at various levels across Asia.
