Ulsan announced on the 8th that coach Kim Dong-ki and coaches Go Yo-han and Kim Yong-dae will join. Coach Kim Dong-ki, from Daewoo Royals, has experience in field-administration, including the Korea Football Association's power reinforcement room, the national support team, the tournament management team, and the referee management team
He is a built-up leader. Ulsan said it will be able to assist coach Shin Tae-yong on and off the ground.
Ko Yo-han, who was a member of the 2018 Russia World Cup national team led by head coach Shin Tae-yong, was also appointed as Ulsan coach. Ko Yo-han, who started his leadership career as a coach of Osan High School, a youth team under FC Seoul, after retiring last year, was serving as the head coach of Osan High School this year. He will start anew as a K-League leader by accepting Shin Tae-yong's love call to Ulsan. As he was in charge of bad things on the ground as a player and had various position experiences, he is expected to assist coach Shin Tae-yong well.
Coach Kim Yong-dae will guide the goalkeeper. Kim Yong-dae, who had been wearing Ulsan uniforms from 2016 to 2018, will guide Moon Jung-in and Ryu Sung-min, as well as Cho Hyun-woo, the national goalkeeper. The rich experience he gained during his active career and the familiar team atmosphere while playing in Ulsan are expected to be of great help.
The coaching staff, who will be responsible for the physicality of the Ulsan squad, which has been extremely tired after playing 31 games in four tournaments this season, also put themselves in the Shin Tae-yong team. Coach Woo Jung-ha is a veteran who gained know-how and experience by going to Korea by age and national team after improving his skills by studying abroad in physical coaching in Brazil in 2008. Heo Ji-seop, a sports scientist of the Indonesian national team, served as the head of the medical team of Suwon Samsung. Furthermore, they are qualified to specialize in rehabilitation, physical therapy, and physical performance. The two coaching staff plan to closely monitor and manage the conditions of the players ahead of the K League 1 final round and AFC Champions League elite in the future and lay the foundation for their best performance.
Manager Shin Tae-yong and analyst Kim Jong-jin, who worked as a power analyst on the Indonesian national team, also joined the team. Analysts Kim Jong-jin has worked together under Shin Tae-yong's Seongnam Ilhwa (2011-2012) and Seongnam FC head (2025).
Meanwhile, coach Park Joo-young, who joined Ulsan in the 2022 season and has been an official coach since this season after serving as a player and playing coach, will remain at the club and play a bridge role between coach Shin Tae-yong and the team.
