Coach Shin Tae Yong has officially taken over the hot seat of Ulsan Hyundai Club. This is his first destination after leaving the Indonesian team.
Today (August 5), Ulsan Hyundai Club officially announced the appointment of Coach Shin Tae Yong to the "hot seat" to replace Coach Kim Pan Gon. This move marks the return to his homeland of the strategist born in 1970 after nearly 5 years working in Indonesia.
Coach Shin Tae Yong was fired by the Indonesian Football Federation (PSSI) in January, despite his significant contribution to Indonesia's success in the third qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup. After that, many Indonesian fans expressed regret when the Korean coach left.
It was not until today that coach Shin Tae Yong officially found a new destination after a long wait. He is the 13th head coach in the history of the leading traditional football club in Korea.
Speaking at the introduction of Ulsan Hyundai Club, coach Shin Tae Yong said: "When I received the offer from Ulsan, I felt both happy and pressured. They have long been a leading team in Korea.
I believe that if the whole team overcomes this difficult period, brighter days will definitely return. I will devote my heart and energy to rebuilding the team, bringing Ulsan back to its original position."
In the past, Ulsan Hyundai has won the Korean championship 5 times and won the runner-up position 10 times. In addition, this club has won the AFC Champions League twice. Recently, Ulsan Hyundai participated in the expanded version of the FIFA Club World Cup but was unsuccessful when losing all three matches against Dortmund, Fluminense and Mamelodi Sundowns.
This season, Ulsan Hyundai also played unsuccessfully in the Korean national championship when they only ranked 7th on the rankings with 31 points after 24 matches. That caused coach Kim Pan Gon to be fired.
