Duel Indonesian National team vs Curacao will bring together two coaches who have a clear difference in achievement between Shin Tae Yong and Supported by Bicentini.
Shin Tae Yong who is currently coaching the Indonesian national team is a coach who already has a name on the world stage. The South Korean coach never felt the rigors of the World Cup competition.
With the South Korean national team, Shin Tae Yong appeared at the 2018 World Cup. Although he failed to qualify for the round of 16 after finishing in third place in Group F, Shin Tae Yong was able to create a surprise after defeating Germany, who at that time was the defending champion in the group phase.
At the club level, Shin Tae Yong was also able to achieve quite good achievements. The 52-year-old coach managed to bring Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma to the Asian Champions League champion in 2010.
Currently, Shin Tae Yong is expected to be able to bring the Indonesian national team to win the 2022 AFF Cup which will be held in December.
In the Indonesia vs Curacao match, Shin will have a strategy against Remko Bicentini, who will return to be the coach of the Curacao national team in 2022.
Bicentini has been mostly involved in the Curacao national team since 2011. The 54-year-old became an assistant to the Curacao national team in 2011-2016, then was appointed head coach in 2016-2020.
After being assistant coach of the Canadian national team in 2021-2022, Bicentini was again trusted to be the coach of the Curacao national team in 2022.
Before Bicentini returned, the Curacao national team had been trained by Guus Hiddink. The Dutch coach had brought the Oranje squad to fourth place at the 1998 World Cup.
Hiddink coached Curacao for approximately one year from 2020 to 2021. After contracting Covid-19, Hiddink gave the baton to former Dutch star Patrick Kluivert. After Kluivert left, Curacao was then trained by Art Langeler only then is currently under the direction of Bicentini.
