Former South Korea boss Shin Tae-yong has vowed to restore Ulsan HD to their former glory, after making his return to coaching with the K League 1 champions seven months after being unceremoniously dumped by Indonesia.

SEOUL - Former South Korea boss Shin Tae-yong has vowed to restore Ulsan HD to their former glory, after making his return to coaching with the K League 1 champions seven months after being unceremoniously dumped by Indonesia.

The 54-year-old has walked into a club attempting a rapid turnaround in the aftermath of a disappointing 12-month spell under predecessor Kim Pan-gon that has seen Ulsan surrender their status as the kings of South Korean football.

But Shin, a former midfielder in his playing days, is confident that he can revitalise a club that have won the last three consecutive K League 1 titles.

"Ulsan HD have been a powerhouse in the K League for a long time," he said. "I will try to rebuild the dynasty here with everything I can."
