There was a possibility that Shin Tae-yong could return to Indonesia, but fans dissuaded him.
Indonesia's Sepos Online reported on the 5th (Korea time) 'There were various reactions to the news that Shin Tae-yong could be recruited as Percya Jakarta coach'
Coach Shin Tae-yong left the Indonesian national team with a sudden replacement in January. It was a disappointing decision considering the performance. Coach Shin began his career in Indonesia in 2020 when he took over as Indonesia's coach. He was highly regarded as a coach who would lead the overall growth of the Indonesian national team by taking charge of the national team by age.

From the beginning, coach Shin's Indonesia has shown a different appearance than before. He finished second at the 2020 Southeast Asian Football Federation (AFF) Suzuki Cup and was fourth at the 2022 AFF Mitsubishi Cup. The Indonesian national team included several naturalized players in the national team to further strengthen their power. Several European players, including those born in the Netherlands and Belgium, joined the Indonesian national team after Shin Tae-yong's appointment.
At the Asian Cup, he also drew more attention by achieving the best performance among Southeast Asian countries, and immediately signed a contract. In the third Asian qualifying round, he showed the joy of renewing his contract. He beat Saudi Arabia and rose to third place with one win, three draws and two losses in the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North-China World Cup, increasing his chances of advancing to the finals.
However, the atmosphere has changed since the elimination of the Mitsubishi Cup. Initially, Indonesia was inferior to the national team players by age. There was no choice but to be a difference from other teams that went all out. However, Chairman Eric Tohir shook coach Shin and decided to replace him. Since then, Patric Clawibert has been newly appointed and is leading the Indonesian national team.

In this situation, the possibility of Shin's return to Indonesia was recently discussed. It was argued that he could be appointed to the Indonesian league club, not the national team. Persevaya Suraviya and Percija Jakarta were mentioned as the teams that coach Shin Tae-yong could take over.
However, Indonesian fans dissuaded Shin Tae-yong from being appointed. Among them, he was particularly dissuaded from taking the post of Percija Jakarta because of the club's overdue wages.
Sepos Online said 'Fans will welcome the possibility of Shin Tae-yong's appointment. He is expected to develop if he takes command. However, fans considered the unresolved internal problems of Pergiza Jakarta. Some fans wrote, 'How can we pay Shin Tae-yong when the players' wages are also behind?' Another fan tweeted "Don't go. You won't get paid," he said, leaving a dissuaded opinion.

Percija Jakarta was criticized a lot in March for his players' unpaid salaries. Some players have also made statements saying they have not been paid. Erik Tohir, president of the Indonesian Football Association, said he could not intervene recklessly because it was a matter between the league and the club.
Coach Shin Tae-yong's future is still hot in Indonesia. Along with interest, attention is being paid to whether coach Shin will take the helm in the Indonesian league or take on a new challenge.
