Coach Hong Myung-bo, who took charge of the national soccer team, said goodbye to Ulsan HD after the match against Gwangju on the 10th.

An official from Ulsan club said on the 11th, “Coach Hong Myung-bo said his final goodbyes to the players after completing recovery training this morning,” and “Coach Hong Myung-bo’s last time leading Ulsan was the match against Gwangju FC the day before.”

Coach Hong Myung-bo, who signed a contract with the Korea Football Association on the 8th to coach the national team until the 2027 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup in January, was originally scheduled to coach the team until the match against FC Seoul on the 13th and then greet Ulsan fans.

However, the loud boos from the home fans in the match against Gwangju the day before were a huge burden, and he ended up leaving the team earlier than scheduled.

Before the match against Gwangju on the 10th, Ulsan fans booed coach Hong Myung-bo and chanted, “Hong Myung-bo, get out!” They also hung banners with harsh criticisms such as “Pinocchi Hong,” “Liar Run Myung-bo,” and “Dog of the Football Association.”

With this, coach Hong Myung-bo, who took over as Ulsan’s commander in 2021, has parted ways with Ulsan after 3 years and 7 months.

The apology after the previous day’s match, “I’m sorry. There will come a time when you have to leave, but I apologize to Ulsan fans for leaving because of my mistake,” was his final message.

Meanwhile, Ulsan, which is looking for a new manager, will leave the team’s baton to head coach Lee Kyung-soo for the time being. Ulsan plans to contact various candidates and select a new manager as soon as possible to normalize the team as quickly as possible.
