Behavior that led to coach Shin Tae-yong being fired

Shin Tae-yong's dismissal after just over two months reflects serious problems within Ulsan HD.

On October 9, Ulsan Hyundai announced the dismissal of coach Shin Tae-yong. According to Sports Chosun , the reason lies not only in poor results, but also in the unprofessional attitude of this strategist.

In early October, a photo circulated on social media showing coach Shin Tae-yong’s personal golf club set being loaded onto the team bus during a K League 1 away game. When the image was made public, senior executives at HD Group, the owner of Ulsan HD, were extremely angry.

Many members of Ulsan Hyundai's board of directors were quite dissatisfied and thought that the former Indonesian coach was unprofessional and looked down on the team, contrary to the dedicated working style often seen in Korean football.

In addition, coach Shin Tae-yong also had conflicts with his students. According to Dong-A Ilbo , he caused internal rifts when he publicly announced plans to reform the squad without consulting the club's leadership. These moves displeased the players and the team's management.

Under the leadership of coach Shin Tae-yong, Ulsan Hyundai fell from the defending champion position to the relegation group of the Korean National Championship (K.League 1) in just a few months.

Ulsan Hyundai have dropped to 10th place in the table (out of 12 teams). This is a position in the group that must play in the relegation playoffs. This is a result that many people could hardly have imagined before this year's season. Last season, Ulsan Hyundai was the champion of K.League 1.
