Incheon United Manager Yoon Jung-hwan was awarded the October 2026 season 'flex Manager of the Month Award.'

The Korea Professional Football League announced on the 11th, "Manager Yoon Jung-hwan has been selected as the recipient of the October 'Manager of the Month Award.'"

Incheon, led by Manager Yoon Jung-hwan, maintained an unbeaten streak with a record of three wins and one draw in four matches played during the evaluation period for the October Manager of the Month award.

Incheon started off on a high note with a 3-0 victory over Pohang Steelers in Round 31, their first match in October. Following a 1-1 draw against Gangwon FC in Round 32, they defeated JejuSK 3-1 in Round 33 to dramatically secure their qualification for Final A.

In the first match of the Final Round, Round 34 against FC Seoul, Incheon secured a 1-0 victory thanks to a decisive goal scored just before the final whistle. During this period, Incheon recorded eight goals scored and two conceded in four matches, demonstrating stable performance on both offense and defense.

In particular, Incheon defeated both Pohang and Jeju, teams they had been competing against for Final A qualification. In their first Final Round match, they even beat Seoul, the defending champions, despite having lost all three previous head-to-head encounters this season.

The League explained, "Manager Yoon Jung-hwan's leadership stood out as he led the team to an unbeaten streak and achieved Final A qualification amidst fierce competition for standings."

A commemorative trophy produced by the League and a prize money will be presented to Manager Yoon Jung-hwan.
