Huh Jung-moo (born January 13, 1955 in Jindo , South Korea ) is a former South Korean soccer player and former coach of the South Korean national soccer team .

Player career

Huh played as a professional for PSV Eindhoven and Hyundai Horang-i . As a national player, he took part in the 1986 World Cup in Mexico .

Coaching career

At the end of his playing career in 1986, Huh became a coach. At the soccer world championship in 1990 he was a fitness trainer in the support staff of South Korea. In the following year he was already assistant coach of the K-League club Pohang Steelers , which he took over as chief coach in 1993. Huh then returned for a while as an assistant coach to the national team, which under Kim Ho barely missed the last 16 at the 1994 World Cup in the USA.

He then became the head coach of South Korea. He made his debut as responsible national coach on August 12, 1995 in a friendly against Brazil in Suwon. The game ended in a 0-1 defeat. Huh later moved to the Chunnam Dragons , a club from his hometown, with whom he won the Korean Cup in 1997, 2006 and 2007.

His second term as the Korean national coach was unsuccessful. In the opening game of the Asian Games in Bangkok in 1998, his team was defeated by Turkmenistan 2-3. In the quarter-finals, South Korea lost 2-1 against hosts Thailand. Despite these disappointing results, Huh was later seen as the coach who brought talented young players like Lee Young-pyo , Seol Ki-hyeon and Park Ji-sung to the national team.

In the fall of 2000, Huh supervised the U-23 selection of South Korea at the Olympic football tournament , before he took over the senior national team at the Asian Cup in Lebanon in October and finished third with it. After he resigned as a coach, Huh served the Korean Football Association at the 2002 World Cup as technical advisor to the national team under Guus Hiddink . In 2004 he became deputy chairman of the technical commission. During the 2004 Asian Cup in China, he was Johannes Bonfrere's first assistant coach . In December 2007 he was reappointed national coach for South Korea and qualified with his team for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. At the World Cup, his team reached the round of 16, which it lost 2-1 to Uruguay. After the round of 16, Huh Jung-moo resigned from his position as coach of the South Korean national team in order to “recharge” and resume his soccer studies. In August 2010 it was announced that he would be the new Incheon United manager , which he remained until 2012. He has been Vice President of the Korea Football Association since 2013 .
