In yesterday’s 22nd round of the K League matches, Ulsan HD lost 0-1 to Gwangju FC at home.
This match was also the farewell game for Ulsan HD head coach Hong Myung-Boo. Earlier this month, the Korean Football Association officially confirmed that Hong Myung-Boo would take over as the head coach of the South Korean national team. This move has sparked intense dissatisfaction among Ulsan HD fans. During yesterday’s match against Gwangju, Ulsan HD fans unveiled a banner with “Fraudster Hong Myung-Boo” printed on it in protest and chanted “Hong Myung-Boo get out” at the scene.
Despite leading Ulsan HD to win the K League championship in the past two seasons under Hong Myung-Boo’s guidance, his flip-flopping behavior has still incited great anger from the fans. In previous interviews, Hong Myung-Boo had stated that he would not leave the team and would continue coaching in Ulsan. However, in less than a week, he changed his mind and chose to take charge of the South Korean national team.
Currently, on the K League standings, Ulsan HD is in third place with 39 points. In the next league match, the team will host Seoul FC at home. At that time, assistant coach Lee Kyung-Soo will lead the team as an interim head coach.
