Hong was appointed as Ulsan's 11th coach on December 24, 2020. It left a great mark. He led Ulsan to its first league win in 17 years in 2022 and its first two consecutive wins since its foundation last year. He also led the Ulsan squad this season and presented the FIFA Club World Cup qualification, which has been reorganized and expanded from next year.
Coach Hong was appointed as the head coach of the A national team and his accompanying with Ulsan was completed. Ulsan plans to operate under acting head coach Lee Kyung-soo, who has been assisting Hong for the time being.
Coach Lee Kyung-soo had about 12 years of experience as a leader at Soongsil University, his alma mater, in 2008 after retiring as a player. During this period, he became the national coach of the 2019 Naples Summer Universiade, making achievements such as No. 1 in the U-League (2012), winning the Autumn University Federation (2013), and winning the Spring University Football Federation (2017).
Coach Lee Kyung-soo made his debut as a coach on the professional stage in 2020 based on his achievements. After two years as the head coach and scout of Suwon Samsung, he moved to Ulsan as the head coach in 2023.
Ulsan is closely searching for candidates to appoint a successor to Hong.
