Coach Shin Tae-yong responds to allegations of beating player

Center back Jeong Seung-hyun (Ulsan HD) accused coach Shin Tae-yong of "slapping him in the face".

Earlier this week, center back Jeong Seung-hyun (Ulsan HD) caused a stir in Korean football public opinion when he accused coach Shin Tae-yong of "slapping him in the face."

Immediately after that, coach Shin Tae-yong responded to the Korean press: "I admit that I had overreacted to him (Jeong Seung-hyun). If he felt offended, I sincerely apologize. However, there was absolutely no violent action. If there is clear evidence proving that I assaulted the player, I will immediately retire and leave football."

Previously, center back Jeong Seung-hyun suddenly revealed that while working with coach Shin Tae-yong at Ulsan HD a few months ago, he was slapped in the face by this strategist.

Although coach Shin said it was just a joke, the midfielder did not see it that way. This statement immediately caused a stir, especially since Jeong Seung-hyun is known to be a quiet person and rarely criticizes anyone publicly.

Currently, the Korea Football Association (KFA) has not made an official comment, but many opinions say that if the incident is verified to be true, it could seriously affect Shin Tae-yong's coaching career.

In early October, Ulsan HD announced the dismissal of coach Shin Tae-yong. The reason lies not only in poor results, but also in the attitude of this strategist.

The Korean club claims to have video evidence of coach Shin abusing his players. In addition, the quality of Ulsan HD's training sessions under him has also been criticized for being poor.
