Who Will Replace Kim Pan-gon as Ulsan HD Head Coach?

After a winless run of ten games, Ulsan HD seek something magical to turn their fate. The team, reeling at the 7th place in K League 1, seem to have lost their faith in Kim Pan-gon, who has failed to match the expectations of the management in recent times. With Ulsan HD parting ways with Kim Pan-gon, former Indonesia national team manager, Shin Tae-yong, has emerged as the front-runner to take over the helm at the South Korean club.

Will Ex-Indonesia National Team Manager Shin Tae-yong Join Ulsan HD?

Ulsan has already informed Kim Pan-gon about their decision, and the club has held talks with Shin Tae-yong regarding a potential deal. The former Indonesia National Football Team manager previously served as the head coach of Seongnam Ilhwa (now SeongnamFC) till 2012. Shin Tae-yong left the Indonesian national football team earlier this year.

Shin Tae-yong has reportedly touched down in South Korea to complete the remaining formalities. “Coach Shin Tae-yong, who led the Indonesian national team, is expected to take charge of Ulsan. Ulsan, led by coach Kim Pan-gon, who managed the Malaysian national team, has currently fallen to 7th place in the K League with 10 consecutive winless matches,” CNN Indonesia reported.
