Kim Ho (Korean: 김호; born 24 November 1944) is a former South Korean football player and manager.
Early life
[edit source]Born in Tongyeong, a coastal city of South Korea, Kim started playing football in his hometown. He entered Tongyeong High School one year before transferring to Jinju High School, which had a football club. He experienced a slump at the new school, and once again moved to another school, Dongnae High School in Busan. When graduating from Dongnae, he followed manager An Jong-soo who was appointed manager of semi-professional club Cheil Industries at the same time.[1]
International career
[edit source]Kim originally played as a right-back, but he showed his best performance after changing his position to centre-back. His defense was rough and daring, but successfully harmonised with his partner Kim Jung-nam. The centre-back duo led South Korea to win the 1970 Asian Games.[2]
Managerial career
[edit source]Early career
[edit source]In 1978, Kim started his managerial career at his alma mater Dongnae High School after retiring as a player.[3] While managing Dongnae in 1979, he simultaneously participated at the FIFA World Youth Championship as a coach of the South Korea under-20 team.[4]
On 30 November 1981, Kim was appointed manager of semi-professional club Hanil Bank.[5] In 1983, Hanil Bank won the Korean Semi-professional League under him, being promoted to the K League.[6] However, Hanil Bank was relegated to the Semi-professional League when the K League was completely professionalised in 1987,[7] and he decided to move to another K League club Hyundai Horang-i the next year.[8]
Kim led Hyundai to finish second out of six clubs in his first season,[9] but fell to sixth and fifth place in two subsequent seasons.[10][11] At the end of the 1990 season, he resigned from the team and was replaced by Cha Bum-kun.[12]
South Korea
[edit source]Kim was back in management when he took over the rein of the South Korean national team in July 1992, and led it to the 1994 FIFA World Cup in the United States. His team put up some credible performances, drawing its opener 2–2 with Spain. However, South Korea drew its second game without a goal against Bolivia, facing the danger of being eliminated in the group stage. In the last group game against Germany, South Korea closed the gap to 3–2 after being 3–0 down at half-time. Kim and Koreans showed their effort against the World Cup holders, but it was inadequate to advance to the next round.
Suwon Samsung Bluewings
[edit source]After stepping down as national manager, Kim was contacted by a new K League club Suwon Samsung Bluewings to become the first-ever manager of the club. He lifted 13 trophies including two K Leagues and two Asian Club Championships for eight years with Suwon. He also nurtured and discovered young talents called the "Kim Ho's Children". Many of them had successful careers in the K League even after his resignation. Ko Jong-soo and Kim Do-heon played for the national team among his pupils.[13] He announced his retirement at the end of 2003.
Daejeon Citizen
[edit source]Kim joined Daejeon Citizen in 2007, canceling his retirement. He had been regarded as one of the greatest South Korean managers before his return, but lost his honor by courting controversies in Daejeon. Kim was in conflict with the president and the board of directors due to team's financial problem as well as his poor results. Furthermore, the club's agent who was having a close relationship with Kim suffered discredit for embezzlement. Kim was finally removed from the team with the president in 2009.[14]
Kim had finished his managerial career, but caused controversies again in Daejeon after 10 years. He was appointed the president of Daejeon Citizen in 2017 despite previous conflict, and engaged a significant number of his acquaintances as manager, agent, and players without principle. Daejeon Citizen was owned by the Daejeon Government at the time, and its finance was relying on the citizens' precious tax money.[15][16] Kim received many criticisms, leaving Daejeon in 2019.[17][18] Ko Jong-soo, the club's manager of the time and Kim's disciple, faced a court the next year.[19]
