Ulsan ended his contract with manager Kim Do-hoon right after winning the Asian Champions League.
Myung-bo Hong was appointed Executive Director of the Football Association as the new command tower for the K-League summit challenge before the lingering lingering of the championship disappeared.
The contract period is 3 years, and the K-League is expected to receive the highest level of treatment.

“I thought I couldn’t do my homework. That was the K-League manager challenge. I will try to keep growing so that (fans) can have pride.”
Starting with the 1990 World Cup in Italy, he scored 2 goals in 4 consecutive World Cup appearances.
In particular, coach Hong Myung-bo, who was the symbol of Korean football by creating the myth of the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup quarterfinals, was recognized for his ability as a leader after finishing his career at LA Galaxy, USA.
Following the quarterfinals of the Under 20 World Cup in 2009, at the London Olympics, he won a bronze medal for the first time in Korean football history.
However, afterwards, he voluntarily resigned at the World Cup in Brazil with the worst grades ever recorded, and even suffered from poor performance in the Chinese league in Hangzhou.
Therefore, this K-League manager’s debut is the first step in the recovery of honor.

“I think the manager Hong Myung-bo has such leadership who can unite all the star players and make them a team.”
Coach Hong Myung-bo, who is returning to the field after 4 years of transforming into a soccer administrator, is scheduled to make his managerial debut at the FIFA Club World Cup in February after revealing his official inauguration early next month.
