There was no 'reversal of retirement'.

Park Joo-young (40), who directed a miracle ending like a lie, transformed into a leader after completely retiring from active duty. Park Chu-young took his first step as an official coach, not as an Ulsan HD playing coach.

Ulsan recently signed a coaching contract with Park Chu-young. Coach Kim Pan-gon, who reorganized the coaching staff, held Park Joo-young's hand. Park Chu-young left for Dubai, Ulsan's training camp, on the 2nd as an advance team and started his first job as a coach.




Park Joo-young's class of 'football genius' was unbeatable until the end. FC Seoul 'Legends' held a farewell match against his former team at Sangambeol on Nov. 10. After the A-match break, Ulsan's final game of 'Hana Bank K League 1 2024' was held at Munsu Football Stadium on November 23. The opponent was Suwon FC.

Park Chu-young was called in the 28th minute of the second half. 2–2, it was a tight match. Park, who joined Seoul in 2005, was the star of the K-League syndrome. There was a huge crowd at every stadium he went to. He won the Rookie of the Year award in his debut season and stood out as the best star in the K League.

Park Chu-young went overseas in 2008 and returned to Seoul in 2015 after playing in big European leagues such as AS Monaco (France), Arsenal (England), and Celta Vigo (Spain). It is considered one of the best scenes in the history of the Seoul club to win the K-League by scoring the winning goal in the final match against Jeonbuk Hyundai in 2016.

He broke up with Seoul ahead of the 2022 season and built a nest in Ulsan. Former head coach Hong Myung-bo held hands. Before the game, he had 99 offensive points (76 goals and 23 assists) in 286 K-League games.

The attack point, which was likely to end in double digits, advanced again in the 'retirement game'. Park Chu-young assisted Ataru's winning goal in the 39th minute of the second half to achieve his 100th offensive point. In the 44th minute of the second half, Lee Chung-yong's self-inflicted cross scored a wedge goal.

He scored 101 offensive points (77 goals and 24 assists) in the K-League. Ulsan won 4-2 with Park Chu-young's fantasy show. He then had a grand coronation ceremony for three consecutive losses. Pollen and celebratory guns danced, and Park Joo-young received a gift from the players to rinse.

After the match against Suwon FC, Park Joo-young said "It was meaningless to win or lose the last home game after the match against Seoul, but it was possible to put him in on the day of the championship ceremony because of a bold decision. I'm thankful for that"I didn't think I would raise the attack point. I just told the coach that I wanted to have fun with the players one last time and finish it off. Chung-yong put up a cross, so I was able to score even."

However, the future was a question mark because the word 'retirement' was not directly addressed. Park Chu-young said, `I want to retire naturally. If I disappeared, would I have retired?" he said calmly. He wrote "It was very hard to run today as well. I had a hard time physically" replaced the description of the situation with words.

When asked about his future plans, Park Joo-young said, `I have no idea at all. I think we should talk about my future. I haven't been able to spend a lot of time with my family in the meantime. I think I should talk."

That was the last time. Park Chu-young has retired. He has won three consecutive K League 1 titles with Ulsan. I started my second soccer career as a leader. A new start is also expected because the brain is so fast.
