Director Hong Myung-bo wins the championship

 

Coach Hong Myung-bo of Ulsan Hyundai, the winner of Hana One Q K League 1 2023, is receiving a rinse from the players at Munsu Soccer Stadium in Ulsan on the 3rd.

 

In the 2023 season of professional soccer K-League 1, Ulsan Hyundai achieved two consecutive league wins for the first time in the club"s history.

 

Ulsan won against Daegu FC in the 35th round home game of Hana One Q K League 1 2023, confirming the championship early regardless of the results of the remaining three games.

 

Following last season, when they won the championship for the first time in 17 years, they ascended to the throne for two consecutive seasons.

 

Ulsan, who had been labeled as the "second-tier player for the rest of his life" due to his high number of runner-up finishes, achieved two consecutive league wins for the first time since its founding, showing that it had clearly broken with its "past" of lack of motivation.

 

Winning the 2023 season is meaningful in that it is the first season in which the ‘winning mentality’ began to become deeply entrenched in Ulsan’s DNA.

 

The most notable aspect of Ulsan"s actions this year was its "crisis management ability."

 

They suffered only one loss in a row, and only had 3 draws (2 draws, 1 loss) twice, so they stood up like a roly-poly in a crisis situation.

 

2023 K League 1 Manager Award: Ulsan Hyundai Manager Hong Myung-bo

 

Ulsan Hyundai coach Hong Myung-bo, who won the K-League 1 Manager Award, is giving his thoughts at the 2023 Professional Football K-League Awards ceremony held at Lotte Hotel World in Songpa-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 4th.

 

In June, it was revealed that some players, including Park Yong-woo, had exchanged racist language on social media, leading to an awkward situation in which the team atmosphere was drastically disrupted.

 

Soon after, Park Yong-woo transferred to Al-Ain in the United Arab Emirates, and even the team"s organizational strength was shaken.

 

However, even in this situation, it did not completely collapse.As a result, the trophy was booked two games earlier than last season, when the championship was confirmed with one game left.

 

Ulsan coach Hong Myung-bo, who played a key role in the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup semifinals and led the team to a new bronze medal at the 2012 London Olympics, once again proved himself as a master by leading the team to its second consecutive victory.

 

Many say that the reason they were able to maintain the gap with the 2nd and 3rd place teams by gaining momentum at the end of the season was thanks to the "older brother"s leadership" of coach Hong Myung-bo, who values ??communication to the point of checking each player"s MBTI (personality type test).

 

Coach Hong Myung-bo received the K League 1 Manager Award for two consecutive years.

 

The club"s efforts to invest, including re-recruiting Korea"s best goal scorer Joo Min-gyu, are also considered the driving force

behind the win.Joo Min-gyu repaid the team well by becoming the top scorer with 17 goals.
