Indeed, it is a speedboat cruise. Coach Yoon Jung-hwan clearly proves the reason for the decision on why he moved down to the second division.
The Korea Professional Football Federation announced on its official website on the 7th that "Incheon United coach Yoon Jung-hwan won the Flex Coach of the Month Award" in April of the 2025 season. "Incheon won all four games held in April. In April, Incheon was the only team in the K League 1 and 2 to 26 teams to record a 100% winning rate," he said, explaining the reason for the award.
Meanwhile, coach Yoon Jung-hwan will receive a commemorative trophy and prize money produced by the Korean Professional Football Federation.
Director Yoon Jung-hwan's mysterious "Train to Incheon"
Not many people expected Yoon to come to Incheon this season. He led Gangwon to win the runner-up prize in the K-League last season.
However, the renewal negotiations failed, and Yoon came to the market as a free agent, connected with a number of teams, and was called a hot potato in the winter transfer market with coach Lee Jung-hyo.
In the process, Yoon was linked to Jeonbuk Hyundai, which he played as a player in the past, and rumors arose that he would move to an overseas league. However, Yoon made an unexpected choice. He was appointed as the 13th head coach of Incheon United, which was destined for direct relegation in the 2024 season.
Coach Yoon Jung-hwan, who dispelled concerns, leads Incheon alone
Yoon, however, quickly ended concerns and concerns. During the winter training camp, he quickly elevated the mood of the team that had collapsed, and focused on incorporating his own tactical colors. He also strengthened his capabilities by transfusing the players and positions he wanted in the transfer market. The team garnered a complete victory over Gyeongnam 2-0 in the opening game of the league, followed by a two-goal victory against rival Suwon Samsung.
He lost to Seongnam 2-1 in the third round and slowed down for a while, but managed to rebound by earning four points against Seoul E-Land (win) and Busan (no match). The team showed a steep upward trajectory in April.
The team won 1-0 at the sixth round match against Hwaseong, the first match in April, and had a crushing four-game winning streak at the seventh round against Cheongju in North Chungcheong Province, 3-1 against Cheonan in the eighth round, and 3-1 against Bucheon in the ninth round. As a result, Incheon widened its gap with second-ranked Seoul E-Land by five points to maintain its lead in the K-League 2.
He also has positive performance in games. He is displaying overwhelming firepower in attack. He has scored 19 goals in 10 matches in the league, ranking first in the number of goals scored, boasting an astonishing 1.9 points per game. "Core" striker Mugosa is at the top of individual goals scored with nine goals. Lee Dong-ryul (three goals), Kim Sung-min (two goals), Baro (one assist) and Gerso (one goal and three assists) also have significant presence.
He is also highly capable of deploying offensive capabilities. Incheon, which is driving cracks in the opponent team's defense through rapid transition to offense and defense, has overwhelming numbers in the K-League 2 with five shots on average (third overall), 8.5 shots within the PA (second overall), 7.1 key passes (third overall), and 136.1 forward passes (fourth overall).
While the offense is exploding like an active volcano, the defense is repaying it with a salty defense. It allowed only five runs in 10 league games, and played as many as six scoreless games.
The combination of old and new is also excellent. Starting with "Captain" Lee Myung-joo, young players Min Sung-joon, Kim Gun-hee, Lee Dong-ryul, Park Seung-ho, Choi Seung-gu and Park Kyung-seop are also positive. 메이저사이트
Let's watch Yoon and Incheon's future moves with interest, who proved their leadership once again by winning the Coach of the Month award in April.
