Will Gangwon FC coach Yoon Jung-hwan be the first person to win the Coach of the Year award in the K-League after the J-League.
The Korea Professional Football Association will hold the 2024 K-League Grand Hotel in Seodaemun-gu, Seoul on the 29th.
There are four most important awards at this year-end ceremony. They are MVP (Player of the Year), Coach, Young Player of the Year (New Year), and Best 11 by position.
Kim Pan-gon of Ulsan HD, the winner of the coach’s award, Yoon Jeong-hwan of Gangwon, who led Gangwon’s all-time ranking of 2nd, and Jeong Jeong-yong of Gimcheon Sangmu, who ranked 3rd, the highest ever for the military and police team.
Originally, the winning team’s coach usually receives the coach’s award, but Kim Pan-gon has only led the team in 13 games since Hong Myung-bo left, so there is a lack of basic number of games to receive the coach’s award.
Coach Chung Jung-yong also made a great achievement leading the promotion team, Gimcheon Sangmu, to the third place, but it is hard to see a third-place coach receive the manager’s award for no reason.
After all, Yoon Jeong-hwan is widely expected. Gangwon ranked second, the highest in the history of provincial and provincial teams, following Incheon United in 2005 and Gyeongnam FC in 2018. No one expected Kang, who was considered the top relegation list, to finish second this year.
Finding promising players such as Yang Min-hyuk and Lee Sang-hun, producing national teams such as Hwang Moon-ki, and competing with Ulsan for the championship cup until the end of the season, we cannot help but give credit to coach Yoon Jung-hwan’s leadership.
If he wins the coaching award this time, he will achieve remarkable achievements. Becoming the first coach to receive the coaching award in both the K-League and the J-League.
Coach Yoon led Cerezo Osaka, a promoted team, to third place in the J League in 2017, as well as won the “J League Coach of the Year Award” by winning the Cup. 온라인바카라
Head coaches such as Hwang Gu-chi and O Ji-ryong have served as coaches in both the K-League and the J-League, but no one has won the “Coach of the Year” award in both leagues.
Yoon Jung-hwan, who was also a “computer passer” and a member of the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup semifinals, is now trying to reach the top of both the K-League and the J-League as a coach.
