Coach Shin Tae-yong was sacked by a South Korean club after only two months.

TPO - On the day the Indonesian national team lost 2-3 to Saudi Arabia in the 4th round of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, their former player Shin Tae-yong also failed in his mission to revive Ulsan HD in the South Korean national championship.

Ulsan HD's management has officially announced the dismissal of Shin Tae-yong. The strategist failed to improve the team's performance. From being close to the championship race, after more than two months under Shin Tae-yong, Ulsan HD is now facing the risk of relegation.

He has led South Korea's most successful team to only 2 wins, 4 losses, and 4 draws in their last 10 matches. In their last 4 games across all competitions, they haven't won a single match, most recently suffering a humiliating 0-3 defeat against Gimcheon Sangmu. Ulsan HD is nearly 30 points behind league leaders Jeonbuk, Kim Sang-sik's former club. Currently, Ulsan HD faces the imminent threat of a relegation play-off. For a team that has won the South Korean championship for the past three seasons, this is an unacceptable result.

Ulsan HD have not won 8 out of 10 matches under Shin Tae-yong.

That's why Shin Tae-yong only held the hot seat for 65 days. The Ulsan HD management had to fire him, marking the second time they've changed managers in the 2025/26 season. Through this move, the reigning South Korean champions hope to save the team from relegation.

This was the shortest job in Shin Tae-yong's coaching career. It's safe to say that things didn't go smoothly for the 57-year-old coach in 2025. He lost his job with the Indonesian national team despite doing quite well, winning 6 of his last 8 matches. Expected to revive Ulsan HD, the strategist also lost his position quickly.
