It has been reported that Hong Myung-bo, the Ulsan HD coach who was appointed as the head coach of the national soccer team, has turned off his cell phone and cut off contact with the outside world due to various controversies.

Saisamil, a YouTube channel that reports on domestic and international soccer news, posted a post titled ‘Coach Hong Myung-bo turned off his phone and disappeared’ on the YouTube community on the afternoon of the 8th.

Regarding Coach Hong Myung-bo’s current situation, Saisamil wrote, “Right after the article about his appointment to the national team, Coach Hong Myung-bo turned off his cell phone and avoided contact with the world.” He added, “Director Lee Im-saeng, who attended the appointment briefing, was unable to properly answer the question, ‘Was it true that the Korea Football Association had no contact with Coach Hong Myung-bo before the day you persuaded him on the 5th?'”

Saisamil claimed, “As a result, Coach Hong Myung-bo, who boasted to the fans, ‘You will have no more work to do as coach of the national team. Don’t worry,’ has turned out to be a liar and a traitor.” He added, “The Ulsan HD team is currently in a state of chaos, and the players who transferred there because they trusted Coach Hong Myung-bo are very confused.”

He continued, “In particular, some players who remained despite large-scale salary offers in the recent transfer market due to Coach Hong Myung-bo’s persuasion and persuasion have completely lost their trust in the coach as a person,” and reminded them that “Coach Hong Myung-bo previously publicly and crudely criticized a player who transferred while lying, saying, ‘Liars are the worst,’ regarding the transfer of Jun Amano.”

Also, “Coach Hong Myung-bo, who was like that, ended up betraying us with a much bigger and more shocking lie, and all soccer fans have lost their trust in Hong Myung-bo,” he said. “Coach Hong Myung-bo, who is currently the coach of Ulsan HD, is scheduled to lead the team until the match against Gwangju on the 10th. It seems likely that we will be able to hear Coach Hong Myung-bo’s opinion at the press conference before the match that day,” he explained.

Coach Hong Myung-bo took over Ulsan in 2021 and led the team to its first league championship in 17 years the following year. Last year, he also set a milestone by becoming the first Ulsan club to win two consecutive championships.

Ulsan is in second place in the league this year under coach Hong Myung-bo and is challenging for its third consecutive championship.

However, Ulsan is facing a chaotic situation due to the sudden change of manager at the halfway point of the season. According to the soccer world, some club fronts and players are said to be greatly disappointed by Manager Hong Myung-bo’s departure to Ulsan.

Ulsan supporters’ ‘Cheoyong Warriors’ expressed their position through their official social media (SNS) on this day, saying, “The Korea Football Association’s decision is a choice that ignores the wishes of Cheoyong Warriors and Korean football fans,” and “We strongly condemn this decision, which has once again caused great pain to football fans.”

Meanwhile, Coach Hong Myung-bo will be given unprecedented treatment comparable to that of a foreign coach, and will be guaranteed a contract period until the 2027 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup, and will take charge of the national team. Coach Hong, who is currently coaching Ulsan HD, will soon negotiate with the Ulsan club to terminate his contract and devote himself to the national team.
