Ulsan fans warn of group action Opposition to Hong Myung-bo's selection as national university coach

While Pro Football K League 1 Ulsan HD coach Hong Myung-bo was mentioned as a candidate for the new national soccer team coach, fans of the Ulsan club came forward to oppose the appointment of coach Hong.

Ulsan supporters 'Cheoyong Warriors' said in a statement on the 22nd, "We strongly condemn the appointment of all active K-League coaches, including coach Hong Myung-bo, and will not hesitate to make any effort to protect them."

He continued, “The K-League is no longer an exclusive property that must follow the decisions of the association, but is the result of the efforts of fans, players, clubs, and managers.” He added, “We demand that the discussion on the appointment of the league’s current manager be nullified, and that no organization be formed to do so.” “I declare that I will take no action whatsoever,” he said.

Cheoyong Warriors criticized the Korea Football Association. They pointed out, “The association does not feel any responsibility for the recent series of incidents occurring in Korean soccer and is trying to avoid responsibility by using the K-League coaches as a shield.”

He continued, “The association did not provide a responsible solution to Korean soccer, which was in crisis during the preparations for the 2014 Brazil World Cup. Instead, it only focused on solving superficial problems by using coach Choi Kang-hee, who was an active coach in the K League, as a shield, and the result was the K League. “It has left a huge scar on Korean soccer fans,” he said.

After the dismissal of coach Jurgen Klinsmann, candidates for the new national soccer team coach include coach Hong Myung-bo, FC Seoul coach Kim Ki-dong, Jeju United coach Kim Hak-beom, Olympic team coach Hwang Seon-hong, and former Gangwon FC coach Choi Yong-soo. 고스톱
