Professional football club Ulsan HD dismissed manager Shin Tae-yong just 65 days after his appointment, revealing an unprecedented rebellion in K League. On the 18th, in the match against Gwangju FC, Lee Chung-yong (37, Ulsan) scored a penalty kick and mocked the former coach with a celebration swinging a golf club, which starkly exposed the reality of Ulsan's completely broken organizational structure. The fundamental reason why Ulsan, which had built a dynasty by achieving three consecutive K League titles, fell in just one year is clear: the club failed to establish a rebuilding direction, only replaced the manager, and even after the appointment, authority was not centralized, causing the control tower to collapse. After the championship, the squad was maintained without a sequential reorganization, and the seniors gained power, bypassing the coach and communicating directly with the club's senior management . An abnormal structure was established, and managers Kim Pan-gon and Shin Tae-yong, who lacked a network in the K League, failed to control the squad. It is said that the reason Ulsan was able to achieve three consecutive championships in 2022~2024 was the firm authority of coach Hong Myung-bo, and Hong As a player, he was the protagonist of the 2002 World Cup semifinal legend and, as a coach, led the team to a bronze medal at the 2012 London Olympics, building a reputation in the K League that no one else could match. From 2017 to 2020, he served as Executive Director of the Korea Football Association, showing the qualities of an administrator,,, so under Coach Hong's authority, he could not let any complaints leak out. Under coaches Kim Pan-gon and Shin Tae-yong, the situation was different; although they achieved results for the Malaysian and Indonesian national teams respectively, the K League network The two lacking coaches failed to inherit the authority established during Coach Hong's era, and instead, the abnormal structure of veteran players communicating directly with the club became even more entrenched. On the 1st, during the match against Shanghai Shenhua in the Asian Champions League Elite (ACLE ) Shortly after, some senior players told senior club executives in interviews, "We can no longer work with the coach," which led to the decision to dismiss him, according to Shin Tae-yong's revelations. After the championship, the veteran players of the championship team who failed to implement a bold generational change are being dismissed It's difficult, and since they contributed to the championship, their presence is strong. As a club that must be mindful of fan backlash,,, it's hard to make a decision, Ulsan has never overcome this dilemma. A club that skips the coach and communicates with the players while being dragged along is the true starting point of confrontation!!!!!!!!
