Indonesian head coach Shin Tae-yong is facing intense criticism following a damaging 3-0 defeat against Vietnam on August 3rd. Fans are demanding his dismissal should Indonesia fail to advance beyond the group stage of the 2026 ASEAN Cup. The loss has sparked a wave of discontent amongst supporters, who believe the team’s performance was unacceptable. Pressure is mounting on the coach to deliver immediate improvements in upcoming matches, particularly against Singapore. A failure to secure a positive result against Singapore could seal Herdman’s fate and lead to his removal from the position. The national team's early elimination from the tournament is now a major concern for Indonesian football fans.
