Kim Ho (born November 24, 1944)[1] is a South Korean former football player and manager. He began his association football playing career with the Cheil Industries FC, where he played from 1964 to 1968. In 1965 he made his debut for the Korean national team before ending his playing career in 1973.
Playing career
Kim Ho was born in Tongyeong, a coastal city of South Korea, and started football in his hometown. He joined Dongnae High School of Busan to learn football professionally when he became a high school student. He spent his youth career in the school.
Kim Ho was on the South Korea national team from 1966 through 1972. His originally position was a right back, but he showed the best performance in the centre-back. He was noted for rapid face and wild defense, and he showed great harmony with Kim Jung-nam, his partner centre-back. They won the 1970 Asian Games.
He spent his club career in Cheil Industries FC, Marine Corps FC, Yangzee FC and Commercial Bank of Korea FC.
Managerial career
Hanil Bank
Kim Ho took his first steps into coaching with an amateur side as well as a national youth team coaching position, before taking over as coach of the Hanil Bank FC team in 1983, leading them into the K League for their two seasons as league members, before departing in 1987 to return to the professional league as manager of struggling Hyundai Horang-i.
Hyundai Horang-i
Kim Ho led Hyundai Horang-i from 1988 to 1990. He rejuvenated the side in his first season, leading them to a 2nd place finish in 1988. The club however couldn't sustain such form and slipped down to bottom in 1989 and 2nd bottom in 1990, and Kim Ho left prior to the 1991 season.
South Korea national team
Kim Ho was back in management in July 1992 when he took over the reins of the Korean national team and led them to the 1994 FIFA World Cup in the United States. His team put up some credible performances, drawing their opener against Spain 2–2, before picking up their second point with a 0–0 draw against Bolivia. Despite giving World Cup holders Germany a huge scare by coming back to 3–2 after being 3–0 down, his side couldn't find the extra goals they would have needed to progress and exited at the group stage.
Suwon Samsung Bluewings
After stepping down as national team coach, Kim Ho was contacted by Suwon Samsung Bluewings to become the first ever coach of the new side, to lead them into the K League in 1996. Ho accepted, and embarked on a reign that made him arguably the K League's most successful manager.
With the Suwon Bluewings, he lifted two K League championships, four Korean League Cup, one Korean FA Cup, two Korean Super Cups, two Asian Club Championship and two Asian Super Cups in the space of eight seasons, before announcing his retirement at the end of 2003.
He was also excellent in young players nuture. The young players who he nutured or discovered was called 'The Kim Ho's children'. They almost left Suwon Bluewings after Kim Ho's resignation, but many of them spent successful career. Kim Do-heon, Ko Jong-soo, Cho Jae-jin and Eninho are his representative pupils.
Daejeon Citizen
