Ulsan Hyundai lost 0-1 to Gwangju FC in the 22nd round of the K League on Sunday.
The match was also Hong Myung-bo’s farewell game as manager of Ulsan HD, as the Korea Football Association confirmed earlier this month that he would be taking over as the new head coach of the national team. This decision has sparked immense outrage among Ulsan HD fans, who displayed a banner during the game against Gwangju that read “Liar Hong Myung-bo” and chanted “Hong Myung-bo Get Out.”
While Hong Myung-bo led Ulsan HD to back-to-back K League titles, his sudden change of heart has infuriated fans. He had previously stated in interviews that he would remain with Ulsan HD, but only a week later, he accepted the offer to coach the national team.
Currently, Ulsan HD are third in the K League standings with 39 points. Their next match will be against FC Seoul at home, with assistant manager Lee Kyung-soo taking over as interim coach.
