JAKARTA (Reuters) -- Indonesia sacked coach Shin Tae-yong on Monday with the country's football chief saying the team needed stronger leadership as it battles for a place at the 2026 World Cup.
Tens of millions of people in the Southeast Asian nation are passionate football fans, but Indonesia's sole World Cup appearance came during Dutch rule in 1938 and the country has rarely threatened a return since independence in 1945.
