Indonesia, which rejected head coach Shin Tae-yong, quickly completed the appointment of the head coach.스포츠토토
"We have appointed Patrick Kluibert as the Indonesian coach," the Indonesian Football Association (PSSI) said on its official website at 3 p.m. on Tuesday. "He has an option to extend his contract by two years. He will also join the squad including coaches Alex Pascour and Denny Lanzat from the Netherlands."
The Indonesian Football Association urgently replaced Shin Tae-yong on Sunday. "This is a decision for Indonesia's long-term goals. I express my gratitude to him for his dedication to the development of the team," they said, announcing the breakup. Shin's replacement was an incomprehensible choice. When Shin joined the Indonesian national team in 2020, he transformed the team, which had been considered the weakest in Southeast Asia, into one of the strongest teams.
Starting with winning the runner-up prize at the AFF Mitsubishi Cup right after taking the helm, Shin became the first player to advance to a tournament in Indonesian soccer history at the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Qatar Asian Cup early last year. Shin then led the U-23 national team to the semifinals at the U-23 Asian Cup, which was held in Qatar. He failed to qualify for the Paris Olympics, which he had been looking forward to, but displayed impressive leadership until recently.
Without stopping, Shin set a history of leading the senior national team to the third qualifying stage of the World Cup for the first time. With the sixth game under Shin's leadership, Indonesia was not lagging behind in competition with powerhouses such as Japan, Saudi, and Australia, ranking third in the group, increasing its chances of advancing to the World Cup on its own.
Although he recently experienced a bad result at the Mitsubishi Cup, called the Southeast Asian World Cup, it seemed a reasonable result considering that he participated in the tournament with young players to prepare for the upcoming competition by age.
Indonesia Chosen by Kluivert With No Outstanding Supervision
Shin's replacement, which had been achieving such outstanding results and achievements, seems to be the arbitrary decision of Erik Tohach, chairman of the Indonesian Football Association. There were rumors that he had a conflict with Shin over the management of the national team, and he also reportedly wanted to bring in a famous head coach as the recent popularity of the national team increased.
As a result, he dumped Shin, who had dedicated himself to the team for five years, and appointed Kluivert, who had displayed legendary performances as a player. Kluivert is well known as a legendary striker from the Netherlands. Having started his professional career with Ajax, Kluivert showed impressive performances for AC Milan and Barcelona. Notably, he displayed impressive attack skills by scoring 90 goals in 182 official matches for Barcelona. He also showed impressive performance for the Dutch national team. Kluivert, who scored 40 goals in 79 A matches, displayed impressive presence as he ranked fourth in the Dutch national team's all-time scorers.
He showed legendary performances as a player, but his subsequent moves were quite disappointing. He first served as Paris Saint-Germain's general manager in the 2016-17 season, but failed to meet expectations and broke up in a year. He also moved to his former team Barcelona as a youth director from 2019, but showed below-expectations results.
As a leader, he was appointed coach of Trente II, a youth team affiliated with Trente in the Netherlands, in the summer of 2011 to win the youth regional league, and during the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, he served as head coach for Louis van Gaal and achieved the achievement of advancing the national team to the semifinals.
In 2015, he was appointed to the Quiraso national team and advanced to the third qualifying round of the World Cup, but was eliminated after losing to Cuba. Cluibert, who later resigned from the Quiraso national team, served as Turkiye's prestigious Adana Demispor coach in June 2023 after serving as Ajax A1. However, due to poor performance, he resigned from the head coach after six months and had to face considerable criticism.
Cluibert, who has failed to show overwhelming results since his transformation as a leader, is re-examining even the crime he committed in the past. In 1995, when he was active, he caused an accident by driving without a copyright, leading to death of a passerby. In 1997, he was suspected of sexually assaulting a woman, and during his time at Barcelona, he caused a stir by driving under the influence of alcohol.
Meanwhile, Kluibert, who was appointed as Indonesia's coach, will enter the country on the 11th and express his feelings about the appointment through an official press conference the next day.
