Ulsan supporter's anger exploded, "Don't shift the blame."

Ulsan HD fans are angry. Ulsan manager Hong Myung-bo has been nominated as head coach of the Korean national soccer team. Most of all, the anger of Ulsan supporters has reached its peak as the 2024 season is just around the corner.

Cheoyong Warriors of Ulsan Supporters issued a statement on the 22nd, saying, "We condemn the incompetence of the Korea Football Association. Do not pass the responsibility of the association's rough administration to the K League anymore."

Cheoyong said, "I express my strong reputation for the Korea Football Association (KFA)'s decision to appoint an active coach of the K-League," and strongly criticized, "The Korea Football Association is trying to avoid responsibility by using the K-League coach as a shield without feeling any responsibility for a series of recent events in Korean soccer."   토토사이트

After Jurgen Klinsmann was replaced, several domestic coaches are being mentioned as replacements. Among them, Hong Myung-bo is considered the most likely candidate.

At the first meeting of the power reinforcement committee to appoint a new head coach on Monday, the committee decided to select a Korean coach within March and set eight conditions, including tactical capabilities and leadership. However, critics say that these conditions are nominal and meaningless. This is because any coach can be selected if matched.

Jeong Hae-sung, chairman of the Korea Power Reinforcement Committee, who first brought up eight conditions after the first meeting, said, "We agreed to open up all the coaches who are resting in Korea, including foreign coaches, as well as current coaches." However, he answered in a subsequent question, "Considering the need to figure out the players, foreign coaches have also been left open, but some said that we should put more weight on domestic coaches (selection)."

It is a sign of its willingness to appoint a new coach before the second round of qualifying matches in Asia for the 2026 FIFA North-Central America World Cup with Thailand next month, which is why it is likely that the domestic head coach system will be established as Chairman Jung Hae-sung said.

Currently, there are few coaches who put down the baton and rest. This is why the eyes are on the current K-League head coach.

Among them, Hong Myung-bo, who led Ulsan and won the K-League 1 for two consecutive years, is mentioned first. Hong also had the experience of leading the Korean national soccer team in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. As a leader who still boasts leadership in Ulsan, he will be one of the leading candidates if the KFA elects a domestic coach.

Ulsan fans who want to win three consecutive league titles are bound to feel sick. This is because the possibility of breaking up with coach Hong Myung-bo is rising less than a week before the opening of the new season. If there is actually a move by KFA to appoint Hong, a strong backlash is expected.

Earlier, Chairman Jung Hae-sung only gave an abstract answer, saying, "If we choose a K-League coach, we will have to go to the club and ask for help after the results come out."

The power reinforcement committee will hold its second meeting on Monday. It is expected to select a list of candidates to replace Klinsmann.
