Shin Tae-yong has just made an extraordinary achievement after leading the U-23 Indonesian National Team to qualify for the 2024 U-23 Asian Cup finals in Qatar. This positive result emerged after the Garuda Muda squad beat Turkmenistan with a score of 2-0 at Manahan Stadium, Tuesday (12/9/2023).
Shin Tae-yong became the first coach to set a record for bringing three age groups of the Indonesian National Team to qualify for the Asian Cup. He previously succeeded in bringing the Indonesian U-20 National Team to qualify for the 2023 U-20 Asian Cup with the title of winner of Group F of the 2023 U-20 Asian Cup Qualification.
However, Indonesia U-20’s journey in the 2023 U-20 Asian Cup was not very smooth. The reason is, STY’s team only survived in the group phase after finishing in third place in Group A.
After that, Shin Tae-yong succeeded in qualifying Indonesia for the 2023 Asian Cup after going through the first round, play-off round, through to the third round, and qualifying for the final round. The 2023 Asian Cup is scheduled to be held in Qatar on January 12 2024.
Most recently, Shin Tae-yong shook Asia again by bringing Indonesia to qualify for the 2024 U-23 Asian Cup in Qatar with the title of Group K champion. Shin Tae-yong was able to provide a new foundation for the development of football in the country. Even though the coach from South Korea has not received any trophies, he has been able to impress many people.
The coach from South Korea believes that Indonesian football will develop even more in the future. He also wants to win the AFF Cup.
“We will definitely be champions if we join AFF again. And it can be said that we will definitely be able to win the championship at AFF, at least we will not lose in competing to get the championship trophy,” he added.
