Yoon Jung-hwan (51), the new Incheon United coach, has strengthened his will. Coach Yoon made his first official move after taking the helm of Incheon through an inauguration press conference at Incheon United Football Center in Incheon on the 26th.
Director Yoon said, `The reason for choosing Incheon is simple. As I said in my position, I think the more difficult the situation, the more challenges and possibilities coexist"We talked with Shim Chan-gu, interim representative, and discussed Incheon and South Korean soccer in depth." I was able to confirm the potential and vision of Incheon. Based on this, I tried to open a new path. I thought the challenge would not be easy, but based on my passion and experience, I decided that I could lead Incheon to a high place."
Among the coaches who were expected to transfer this winter, Yoon was the 'hotest' person. As the manager of Gangwon in the last 2024 season, he led the runner-up in the K League 1. He even had the honor of being named K League 1 Coach of the Year. After leaving Gangwon, he became a free agent and received various attention from China and Japan in addition to Incheon. However, after enthusiastic persuasion by interim CEO Shim Chan-gu, he made an unconventional decision to choose Incheon, the second division team.
Incheon held manager Yoon's hand in the crisis of the first relegation in the club's history. I judged him to be the best person to lead the club project. Considering Yoon's experience, it is a reasonable choice. Coach Yoon has already performed the miracle of promotion at Sagan Dos, which was the beginning of his coaching career. He won the runner-up prize in J2 (second division) and proved his DNA for promotion as the first promotion in the club's history in his first year as a manager. He is a person who can present the direction of promotion to Incheon, which has no previous experience in relegation.

He was also determined not to let his guard down. "If you fall from part one to part two, the players may think you can do it roughly. There are also many transfers of existing players. You have to sense it well, and any team, there is no easy opponent. The difference between Part 1 and Part 2 is not noticeable. It is important how well you do and how well you will solve it. Never let your guard down. You have to do your best in every game to get promoted."
It emphasized the will to develop rather than the burden. He said there was no fear of failure throughout his leadership experience"I know Incheon fans are passionate and supportive. It is important to play soccer for fans, and regardless of winning or losing, a performance that can give dreams and enthusiasm should come out. I feel late, but I think I can show my fans a lively side if I train steadily. have confidence. I judge that it will go well.'

He said he wants to lead the team in one direction through communication, which is his strength. "I think it facilitates communication with the team," Yoon said. There was also a nickname 'Oni', but now I try to understand the players a lot. It will also try to change what the players need through communication. Out of defensive football, we are considering forward pressure, concise attack conversion, and fluid attack. I don't have much time, but if I dress Incheon players well, I think they can do it enough."
Expectations are also high for the appointment of promising players. He is the one who has already discovered Yang Min-hyuk in Gangwon and raised him as the best young player in the K League. Coach Yoon said, `I haven't found a player like Yang Min-hyuk yet. However, I watched the players who went all the way to the national team like Choi Woo-jin. I heard Park Seung-ho is also promising. I haven't played soccer together yet, but I think it will be more noticeable when I start training."
I think the fans must have been very disappointed with Incheon as well. Consoling fans depends on how they fight next year. In the current situation, how to deal with it quickly seems important. Most importantly, I think the leadership should be decided quickly so that the team can work well. It starts today, but that part is urgent to run the team stably. I have to do well and show that Incheon has become innovative and changed. I have no choice but to try harder for this."
