The team that was demoted to the second division in the first division of the Korean pro soccer league in the 2024 season is Incheon United, the originator of the provincial and provincial teams. Anyone can suffer a demotion, but Incheon ended up with the worst result of being demoted even if it spent the most money among provincial and provincial teams.
In total, Incheon spends 12.66 billion won (approx. Only Ulsan HD (20.9 billion won), Jeonbuk Hyundai (20.5 billion won), FC Seoul (14.9 billion won), and Daejeon Hana Citizen (13.9 billion won) outnumber Incheon in total salary.
There are five municipal and provincial clubs in the first division. Of course, Incheon's total annual salary is unrivaled. It is the only city and provincial club with an annual salary of more than 10 billion won.
The average annual salary per person is 310 million won (390,000 dollars). The team ranks fourth after Ulsan (610 million won), Jeonbuk (410 million won), Seoul (370 million won) and Jeju United (340 million won). Incheon is the first city where the average annual salary per person has exceeded 300 million won in the history of the provincial and provincial teams.
As Incheon participated in the Asian Champions League for the first time in its history last season, it significantly increased the salaries of its veterans. Players in their mid-30s were the main players during last season, but their performance was poor and some players couldn't even play properly due to injuries. There were so many veterans in the team that very few players played in the mid-to-late 1990s that they were highly dependent on them. Former Incheon coach Cho Seong-hwan also left the team due to his own volition in the middle of the season.
What's more surprising is the extremely high salary of foreign players. The average salary of a foreign player in Incheon is 1.11 billion won (approx. It is one of the four clubs (Ulsan, Jeonbuk, Seoul, and Incheon) that pay more than 1 billion won (approx. Incheon striker Mugosa is ranked third in the K-League in terms of annual salary for foreign players. Mugosa's salary is 1.54 billion won (1.54 million U.S. dollars). Incheon striker Gersault is ranked fourth with 1.44 billion won (1.54 million dollars). Other foreign players, other than Mugosa (15 goals and 1 assist in 38 matches), did not perform very well.
The main cause of the relegation was poor group consisting of Korean veteran players who received excessive salaries for their age and durability, and foreign players who were strangely overpacked. The leadership of the team's management team, which made such an incomprehensible decision, is also under criticism. Incheon's settlement of accounts for the 2024 season amounts to 26 billion won (25.6 million U.S. dollars). Even though the team spent as much money as any other corporate team, the team's CEO is the only one responsible for the loss.
Incheon appointed Yoon Jeong-hwan, former coach of Gangwon Province, as the team's head coach after twists and turns. Yoon displayed his leadership by elevating Gangwon to the second place last year. Gangwon is the 10th team that earned the lowest annual salary in the entire K-League. 메이저사이트
Will Yoon be able to immediately promote Incheon to the first division in the new year? As long as the club's administration has not changed, which has transformed into a leadership and political organization of the Incheon club, Yoon may have to engage in a "lonely fight" within the club.
