SEAToday.com, Jakarta - Pelatih Timnas Indonesia Shin Tae-yong (STY) mengaku akan belajar Bahasa Indonesia setelah mencapai kesepakatan verbal dengan Ketua Umum PSSI Erick Thohir untuk memperpanjang kontrak sebagai juru taktik Timnas hingga 2027 mendatang. Hal tersebut diungkapkannya, Selasa (14/5) di Jakarta.
Shin Tae-yong menyampaikan permohonan maaf karena selama 4,5 tahun menjabat sebagai pelatih Timnas, ia tidak bisa berbahasa Indonesia dengan baik. Meski memiliki penerjemah, yaitu Jeong Seok Seo dan asisten pelatih Yoo Jae Hoon yang fasih berbahasa Indonesia, STY menilai Skuad Garuda bisa semakin kuat jika ia bisa berkomunikasi dengan lancar menggunakan bahasa Indonesia. Untuk itu, ia bertekad untuk belajar bahasa Indonesia.
Lebih lanjut, anggota Exco PSSI Arya Sinulingga mengungkapkan, PSSI akan melakukan banyak negosiasi dalam pembaharuan kontrak pelatih asal Korea Selatan tersebut. Ia mengaku pihaknya sangat mengapresiasi STY yang telah mencapai Key Performance Indicator (KPI) yang ditetapkan. (DHITA/ DKD)
