Early life

edit

Kim was born in Tongyeong, a coastal city of South Korea, and started football in his hometown. He originally joined Tongyeong High School when he became old enough to join a high school, but there was no football club. He transferred to Jinju High School the next year to learn football professionally. However, he experienced a slump in Jinju, and once again moved to another school, Dongnae High School in Busan. Kim respected the Dongnae's manager An Jong-soo, and followed him into a semi-professional club Cheil Industries instead of university.[1]

International career

edit

Kim was on the South Korea national team from 1966 to 1972, and won the 1970 Asian Games. He originally played as a right back, but he showed his best performance as a centre-back. He was noted for his rapid pace and wild defense, and showed a great harmony with Kim Jung-nam, his partner centre-back.[2]

Managerial career

edit

Early career

edit

Kim took his first steps into coaching with his team Commercial Bank. He started to perform the managerial role in his alma mater Dongnae High School before taking over as coach of a semi-professional club Hanil Bank in 1983. Under Kim, Hanil Bank won the Korean Semi-professional League straight away, qualifying for the professional league, K League.

However, Hanil Bank turned its status into a semipro club again in 1987, and Kim left for a K League club Hyundai Horang-i the next year. He rejuvenated Hyundai in his first season by leading them to a second place finish, but couldn't sustain the result after that. Hyundai slipped down to the bottom in 1989, and remained second from bottom in 1990. He finally left Hyundai prior to the 1991 season.

South Korea

edit

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

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.[3] He announced his retirement at the end of 2003.

Daejeon Citizen

edit

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.[4]

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.[5][6] Kim received many criticisms, leaving Daejeon in 2019.[7][8] Ko Jong-soo, the club's manager of the time and Kim's disciple, faced a court the next year.[9]
