Coach Shin Tae-yong was fired by Korean club after 2 months

TPO - On the day the Indonesian team lost 2-3 to Saudi Arabia in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, their former player Shin Tae-yong also lost in the task of reviving Ulsan HD in the Korean national championship.

The Ulsan HD board of directors has just officially announced the dismissal of Shin Tae-yong. This strategist has not been able to help the team improve its performance. From being close to the championship competition zone, after more than 2 months under Shin Tae-yong, Ulsan HD is even facing the risk of relegation.

He made the most successful team in Korea win only 2 but lose 4 and draw 4 in the last 10 matches. In the last 4 appearances on all fronts, they have not won any match, the most recent being a 0-3 defeat against Gimcheon Sangmu. Ulsan HD is nearly 30 points behind the leading team Jeonbuk, coach Kim Sang-sik's old club. Currently, the risk of Ulsan HD having to play a relegation play-off is looming. For the team that has won the Korean championship for the last 3 seasons, this is an unacceptable result.

Ulsan HD failed to win 8/10 matches under Shin Tae-yong

That is why Shin Tae-yong was only allowed to take the hot seat for exactly 65 days. The Ulsan HD board of directors had to fire him, changing the "general" for the second time in the 2025/26 campaign. Through this move, the reigning Korean champion wants to save the team from the risk of relegation.

This is the shortest job in Shin Tae-yong's coaching career. It can be said that in 2025, everything did not go smoothly for the 57-year-old coach. He lost his job with the Indonesian team in the context of doing his job quite well with 6 wins in the last 8 appearances. Expected to revive Ulsan HD, this strategist also lost his seat quickly.
