(MHN Lee Kyu -won) K -League 1 Ulsan HD broke up with a mutual agreement with Kim Pan -gon on the 1st.
The club officially announced on the day, “Kim Pan -gon, who has recently been responsible for sluggish grades, has finished the contract after revealing his gratitude and discussing it.” The team is planning to renew the atmosphere by quickly finishing the successor’s appointment.
Ulsan reached the 12th Command Tower with Kim Pan -gon’s system after Hong Myung -bo moved to the national team in July 2024. Kim made his name in the club’s history, leading the fifth victory (2022-2024) shortly after his appointment on July 28 last year.
Kim Pan -gon, the first member of the league, was the first leader from Ulsan. However, the path of ‘four consecutive’ challenges this season was not smooth. After the opening of the game, three consecutive wins showed a positive trend, but afterwards, the performance of the performance continued.
This year, Ulsan was defeated only three consecutive games in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup group stage, and was defeated by Gwangju FC in the quarterfinals of the Korea Cup. In recent K -League 1, he has only won six consecutive games (3 draws and 3 losses), and he has been extremely sluggish with three draws and seven losses in the last 10 games.
This eventually took out the baton replacement card, and the Kim Pan -gon system ended in about a year. Kim will be the last official game with the K -League 1 Round 20th round with Suwon FC at the Ulsan Munsu Stadium on the 2nd.
In addition, Kim Kwang -guk, CEO of Kwang -guk, also decided to step down from this situation. Attention is drawn to how the coach and general manager replacement changes the atmosphere of the team.
