Unexpected dynasty fall, ‘Senior Senior Senior’ will be one of the gods … Ulsan, bold ‘full reorganization’ during the season

(Star News | Reporter Park Gundo)

The pride of the K -League 1 champion was gold. As soon as the dynasty was established, Ulsan HD’s choice to go downhill is a full reorganization during the season.

Ulsan officially announced the appointment of Shin Tae -yong (55) in a press release on the 5th. Shin said, “We will do our best to make the K -League and Ulsan go to the prestige.”

Ulsan set up a dynasty with the K -League 1 three consecutive victories. In the 2022 season, he recaptured the rival Jeonbuk Hyundai by three points and recaptured the summit, and in the next two seasons, Pohang Steelers and Gangwon FC were beaten with a big gap and entered the league.

Unlike expectations, however, Ulsan took the third consecutive championship and quickly went downhill. Kim Pan -gon, 56, who became the Ulsan Command Tower during last season, terminated the contract after agreement with the club in just a year due to poor performance.

The reason was clear. Ulsan of the Kim’s system did not show a sign of rebound. In the last 10 games, he has fallen into a swamp (3 draw and 7 losses). The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup Group League lost all of the world stage, and the K -League’s No. 1 crashed to the seventh place in the Final B group.

This is why Kim’s resignation is more painful during the season, which was the first leading player in Ulsan and the first case to be at the top of Ulsan as a player.

Ulsan pulled out the knife before entering the 2025 season final round to renew the atmosphere. Following the appointment of Shin, he announced the reorganization of the coaching staff. About two hours ago, Ulsan announced that Ulsan will complete the accompanying six staff members including Cho Kwang -soo’s senior coach through social networking service (SNS).

In fact, it is interpreted as a flow that empowered the director. The main staff who worked in the Kim’s system left Ulsan.

Prior to the Ulsan Command Tower, Shin has gained various experiences by leading the Korean soccer team and the Indonesian A team. In particular, he was recognized for his rusted leadership, such as leading Indonesia to the world’s first World Cup qualifiers.

However, as a K -League Command Tower, it is a challenge in 13 years. Shin will make his debut as an Ulsan manager in the home game with Jeju SK on the 9th since he retired from Seongnam Ilhwa in 2012.

Confidence is full. Shin said, “As a player, I played a lot with Ulsan and played a lot of games at Munsu Stadium, and every time Ulsan was a strong team. I didn’t know that I would come to this team as a manager.”

There are many familiar players. Shin will reunite with former disciples such as Kim Young -kwon, Cho Hyun -woo, Jung Woo -young and Lee Chung -yong, who were led by the national team. The synergy with veteran players is expected. Shin emphasized, “I will think about how to quickly renew the team atmosphere and lead to a good atmosphere.”

The victory is blind before debut. Ulsan is pursuing the second place with 31 games with 31 games with only 8 points. However, it is being chased by only three points in Suwon FC (28 points in 24 games).

He is a new director who has proved his ability as a firefighter. In particular, Shin was in place of the A -national team’s baton on behalf of Ullie Stillike (Germany), a year before the 2018 Russia World Cup. In the World Cup finals, Shin defeated Germany, the No. 1 FIFA ranking, in the final match of the group stage, even in the final match of the main players. Obviously, he was recognized as a leader who could achieve quickly even if he lacked time.

In a short time, it is unknown whether Shin will make his own color and make a rebound of Ulsan. It is worth noting that Shin will focus on winning the game and will solve the game and seek both rabbits for both Silly and reconstruction. Shin said, “Ulsan is a good team, so you can rebound.”
