Indonesian football: Audero’s club future uncertain as Shin Tae‑yong takes over Persija

Goalkeeper Emil Audero returned to Serie A side Como 1907 after a loan spell with Cremonese. Although under contract until June 2028, he faces stiff competition from Jean Butez, who impressed with 19 clean sheets last season. Reports suggest Audero could leave if he does not secure a guaranteed starting role.

Separately, former Indonesia national team coach Shin Tae‑yong was appointed head coach of Persija Jakarta for the 2026/27 season. He brought several of his former national‑team players to the club, including defender Pratama Arhan, as well as Victor Dethan and goalkeeper Aqil Savik, aiming to strengthen the squad for the upcoming Super League campaign.
