Gangwon Coach Yoon Jeong-hwan, who led 'Gangwon Spring', is stepping down.

On the afternoon of the 6th, Gangwon concluded its accompanying coach Yoon Jung-hwan on its official SNS. I will not forget the passion and dedication shown in Gangwon-do" announced his separation.

Coach Yoon took the helm of Gangwon in July last year to lead the team to a dramatic stay in the first division, and then proved his leadership by leading the team to the runner-up in the K League 1, the highest performance in the club's history this year. I won a ticket to the Asian Champions League.




He won the Coach of the Year Award for the first time in his leadership career at the K League Awards ceremony at the end of the year, becoming the first Korean leader to win the Coach Award in both Korea and Japan. Yoon won the J-League Coach Award in 2017 by leading Cerezo Osaka's sensation.

At the end of this year, Yoon, whose contract with Gangwon, ended, failed to narrow the difference in negotiations with the club, leading to a breakup.

Gangwon's loss of power was inevitable due to its separation from coach Yoon, who led Gangwon Donghwa and the departure of key resources such as Hwang Moon-ki (joining the army) and Yang Min-hyuk (joining Tottenham).




As Gangwon CEO Kim Byung-ji previously said in a media interview that `internal promotion is the top priority', it is highly likely that head coach Chung Kyung-ho will be given the baton.

Coach Yoon, who proved his leadership in Gangwon, is expected to consider his next destination while leaving options such as Korea, Japan and China open.
