Coach Yoon Jong-hwan, who led Gangwon to the K League runner-up this season, has written the 'Gangwon fairy tale.'

After winning the Coach of the Year award, he reached the pinnacle of K League coaching, but after failing to re-sign with Gangwon, he headed to Incheon, which was relegated to the second division.

Despite evaluations of his unexpected move, Coach Yoon showed confidence rather than pressure regarding the challenge.

Since the confirmation of relegation, the atmosphere within the Incheon club has been unsettled due to issues such as the appointment of a CEO.

When asked related questions, Coach Yoon briefly paused the press conference, appearing to be deep in thought.

He emphasized that he would stabilize the confusion through a 'one team spirit.'

Coach Yoon's goal for next season is promotion to K League 1.

He also announced his plan to showcase his own brand of "attacking football" at Incheon, expressing his determination to repay the passionate support of the fans.

[Yoon Jong-hwan/Incheon Coach: "I believe we need to deliver a performance that inspires dreams and hope for many fans. With diligent training, I’m confident we can present a vibrant and energetic team to our supporters."]

Incheon, marking a new start as 'Yoon Jong-hwan's team,' will leave for training in Thailand next month to begin serious preparations for the promotion.
